ICD-10 Code I69.134 – Monoplegia of upper limb following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage affecting left non-dominant side (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.134 – Monoplegia of upper limb following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage affecting left non-dominant side
What it is
This code identifies paralysis or severe weakness limited to one upper limb as a late effect of a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. It specifies the left, non-dominant side.
Clinical signs
Expected findings include marked loss of movement or strength in the left arm, with preserved function elsewhere. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for laterality, dominance, and stroke history.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly links the arm monoplegia to a prior nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage and identifies the left non-dominant side. You should code it for residual deficits, not the acute bleed. Check documentation if dominance or the causal stroke type is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use it for acute intracerebral hemorrhage, generalized hemiplegia, or monoplegia from trauma. Also avoid it when the affected side or dominant status is not documented.
Coding tip
Confirm this is a residual condition after the hemorrhage and that the chart supports left non-dominant upper-limb involvement.
