ICD-10 Code I69.814 – Frontal lobe and executive function deficit following other cerebrovascular disease (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.814 – Frontal lobe and executive function deficit following other cerebrovascular disease
What it is
This code identifies persistent frontal lobe or executive function problems that occur after a cerebrovascular disease other than stroke categories covered elsewhere. It reflects a neurologic deficit, not the vascular event itself.
Clinical signs
Documented features may include impaired planning, organization, judgment, attention, or problem-solving after a cerebrovascular condition. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use I69.814 when the record links ongoing frontal lobe or executive dysfunction to a prior cerebrovascular disease. The deficit should be current and residual, not an acute presentation. Code the underlying cerebrovascular condition separately when instructed by the record and coding guidelines.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for acute cerebrovascular disease, transient confusion, or cognitive issues without a documented vascular cause. Check documentation if the chart does not clearly identify a residual frontal lobe or executive deficit.
Coding tip
Confirm the provider documents both the residual deficit and its cerebrovascular link before assigning I69.814.
