ICD-10 Code I69.122 – Dysarthria following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.122 – Dysarthria following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage
What it is
I69.122 identifies dysarthria that remains after a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Use it when the speech problem is a late effect of the prior brain bleed, not an active hemorrhage.
Clinical signs
Patients may have slurred, slow, or poorly articulated speech with intact language content. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record links dysarthria to a previous nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage and the hemorrhage is no longer acute. You should document the residual speech impairment and the history of the intracerebral bleed. If the note does not clearly connect the two, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use it for acute intracerebral hemorrhage, generic aphasia, or speech problems from another cause. Check documentation if the deficit is not stated as a post-hemorrhagic residual.
Coding tip
Assign the residual-effect code only when the provider documents dysarthria as due to the prior hemorrhage.
