ICD-10 Code I69.210 – Attention and concentration deficit following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.210 – Attention and concentration deficit following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage
What it is
This code identifies an attention or concentration deficit that remains after a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. Use it when the cognitive problem is a late effect of the prior bleed, not the acute hemorrhage itself.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include reduced focus, distractibility, and difficulty sustaining attention during tasks. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation, and confirm that the deficit is linked to the prior intracranial hemorrhage.
When to use this code
Use I69.210 when the record documents persistent attention or concentration problems after a previous nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. This is appropriate in follow-up care, rehabilitation, or neurologic assessments when the hemorrhage is no longer acute. You should code the residual deficit only if the provider clearly connects it to the old hemorrhage.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for acute intracranial hemorrhage or for attention problems with another cause. Check documentation if the note does not clearly state a post-hemorrhagic residual deficit.
Coding tip
Verify that the chart links the attention deficit to a prior nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage before assigning this late-effect code.
