ICD-10 Code I69.2 – Sequelae of other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.2 – Sequelae of other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage
What it is
This code identifies lasting effects from a prior nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. Use it when the active bleed has resolved, but neurologic deficits or other residual problems remain.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Residual findings may include weakness, speech difficulty, sensory loss, or cognitive changes after a documented intracranial hemorrhage.
When to use this code
Use I69.2 when the record clearly states sequelae of a previous nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage and describes ongoing deficits. The current visit should focus on the residual condition, not an acute bleed. If the documentation does not link the deficit to the prior hemorrhage, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for an active intracranial hemorrhage or for deficits with no documented causal link to a prior hemorrhage. Check documentation if the record describes another stroke type or an uncertain history.
Coding tip
Code the residual deficit first when documented, and use I69.2 only when the sequela is clearly tied to the prior hemorrhage.
