ICD-10 Code I69.090 – Apraxia following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.090 – Apraxia following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage
What it is
This code identifies apraxia that occurs as a late effect of a nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. It means the patient has impaired ability to perform learned purposeful movements despite adequate strength and understanding.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include difficulty carrying out skilled motor tasks, such as dressing, using tools, or following motor sequences. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use I69.090 when the record clearly links apraxia to a prior nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and the condition is being treated or assessed as a residual effect. The documentation should indicate a history of hemorrhage with persistent apraxia. If the cause or residual deficit is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for apraxia without a documented relationship to nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. It is also not appropriate for acute stroke symptoms or other neurologic deficits that are separately documented.
Coding tip
Code the residual effect first when the visit is for a late effect, and confirm the hemorrhage type is nontraumatic.
