ICD-10 Code I69.114 – Frontal lobe and executive function deficit following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.114 – Frontal lobe and executive function deficit following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage
What it is
This code identifies a residual frontal lobe or executive function deficit after a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Use it when the stroke-related brain injury has left ongoing problems with planning, judgment, organization, or mental flexibility.
Clinical signs
Common findings include impaired attention, poor problem-solving, reduced initiative, and difficulty with planning or multitasking. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly links the executive dysfunction to a prior nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage and the deficit is still present. It is appropriate for follow-up visits, rehabilitation, or chronic neurologic aftercare when the residual cognitive problem is documented. You should code the residual condition, not the acute bleed.
Do not use for
Do not use it for acute intracerebral hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, or nonspecific cognitive decline without a documented hemorrhagic cause. Check documentation if the chart does not specify a frontal lobe or executive function deficit.
Coding tip
Link the deficit to the prior nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage in the note, because this code is for a sequela, not the original event.
