ICD-10 Code I69.810 – Attention and concentration deficit following other cerebrovascular disease (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.810 – Attention and concentration deficit following other cerebrovascular disease
What it is
This code identifies attention and concentration problems that persist after a cerebrovascular event other than the specific categories listed elsewhere. It reflects a cognitive deficit attributed to prior stroke or similar vascular brain injury.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical notes include distractibility, reduced sustained attention, slowed mental processing, and difficulty staying on task after a cerebrovascular disease.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents attention or concentration deficit as a sequela of a past cerebrovascular disease. The record should link the cognitive problem to the prior vascular event, not to an acute stroke or another neurologic disorder. Check documentation if the cause is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use it for acute cerebrovascular disease, general memory loss, or cognitive symptoms without a documented vascular cause. If the deficit is better explained by another condition, code that condition instead.
Coding tip
Confirm the note states a residual attention or concentration deficit and that it follows cerebrovascular disease before assigning I69.810.
