ICD-10 Code I69.19 – Other sequelae of nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.19 – Other sequelae of nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage
What it is
I69.19 identifies residual effects that remain after a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Use it when the original bleed is no longer acute, but the patient still has ongoing neurologic problems.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common sequelae may include weakness, speech difficulty, gait problems, or cognitive changes after a prior brain hemorrhage.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a current condition as a late effect of a previous nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. It applies to ongoing deficits that are clearly linked to the old event, not to the acute hemorrhage itself. Code the specific residual manifestation when documented.
Do not use for
Do not use I69.19 for an active intracerebral hemorrhage or for sequelae of traumatic brain injury. If the documentation does not clearly link the condition to a prior nontraumatic hemorrhage, check documentation.
Coding tip
Look for wording such as “late effect,” “sequela,” or “residual deficit” and code the current impairment first when the record supports it.
