ICD-10 Code I69.313 – Psychomotor deficit following cerebral infarction (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.313 – Psychomotor deficit following cerebral infarction
What it is
I69.313 identifies psychomotor deficit that remains after a cerebral infarction, such as slowed movement, impaired coordination, or reduced motor planning. It is a late effect code, so the stroke has already occurred.
Clinical signs
Documentation may note difficulty initiating or sequencing movements, slowed responses, or impaired purposeful motor activity after ischemic stroke. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use I69.313 when the provider documents psychomotor deficit as a sequela of a prior cerebral infarction and the deficit is still being treated or assessed. Code the residual condition, not the acute stroke event, when the infarction is no longer active. Confirm the linkage to the old stroke in the note.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for an acute cerebral infarction, for nonspecific weakness, or for psychomotor changes without a documented stroke cause. Check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify that the record clearly links the psychomotor deficit to a previous cerebral infarction before assigning I69.313.
