ICD-10 Code I69.141 – Monoplegia of lower limb following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage affecting right dominant side (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.141 – Monoplegia of lower limb following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage affecting right dominant side
What it is
This code identifies persistent one-sided paralysis or severe weakness of the lower limb after a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, affecting the right dominant side. Use it when the deficit is a late effect of the hemorrhagic stroke.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include marked weakness or loss of movement in the right leg, often with abnormal gait or need for assistance. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the dominant-side and post-hemorrhagic details.
When to use this code
Use I69.141 when the record clearly links the monoplegia to a prior nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage and specifies the right dominant lower limb. This is appropriate for follow-up visits, rehabilitation, or chronic neurologic deficits after the acute event has passed.
Do not code it unless the provider documents the residual deficit as a sequela of the hemorrhage. If laterality, dominance, or cause is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for acute stroke care, traumatic brain injury, or lower-limb weakness from another neurologic or musculoskeletal cause. It also does not apply when the residual deficit is not documented as post-hemorrhagic.
Coding tip
Verify the sequela link and the right dominant-side designation before assigning this code.
