2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.190 – Apraxia following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage

What it is

I69.190 identifies apraxia that remains after a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Use it when the patient has difficulty carrying out learned purposeful movements despite adequate strength and understanding.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings include impaired motor planning, trouble performing familiar tasks on command, and errors with sequencing or gesture use after the hemorrhagic stroke.

When to use this code

Use this code when the record links apraxia to a prior nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage and the condition is being addressed as a residual effect. You should code the neurological deficit, not the acute bleed, when the hemorrhage is no longer the active event. Confirm that the provider documents apraxia as the sequela.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for apraxia from traumatic brain injury, congenital disorders, or other stroke types unless documentation specifically supports this diagnosis. Check documentation if the residual effect is unclear.

Coding tip

Link the apraxia to the prior intracerebral hemorrhage in the note before assigning I69.190.
