ICD-10 Code I69.131 – Monoplegia of upper limb following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage affecting right dominant side (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.131 – Monoplegia of upper limb following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage affecting right dominant side
What it is
This code identifies lasting weakness or paralysis limited to one upper limb after a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. It specifies the right side and that the affected side is dominant.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include reduced or absent voluntary movement in the right arm, with residual deficits documented after the hemorrhagic stroke. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record states monoplegia of the upper limb is a late effect of a prior nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. The documentation must also identify the right dominant side. If the provider does not link the deficit to the hemorrhage, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use it for acute intracerebral hemorrhage, unspecified limb weakness, or monoplegia from another cause. Check documentation if the dominant side or laterality is not clearly stated.
Coding tip
Code the residual neurologic deficit only when the record clearly connects it to the prior hemorrhage.
