ICD-10 Code I69.153 – Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage affecting right non-dominant side (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.153 – Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage affecting right non-dominant side
What it is
This code identifies paralysis or weakness on the right side that remains after a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. It applies when the affected side is the non-dominant side, as documented.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include reduced strength, limited movement, and impaired coordination on the right side after a brain bleed. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use I69.153 when the record clearly links current right-sided hemiplegia or hemiparesis to a prior nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. The note should also specify that the right side is non-dominant. If laterality, dominance, or cause is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for traumatic brain hemorrhage or for weakness not documented as a sequela of intracerebral hemorrhage. Do not assume dominance; if not stated, check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm both the residual deficit and the original hemorrhage cause before assigning the code.
