ICD-10 Code I69.212 – Visuospatial deficit and spatial neglect following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.212 – Visuospatial deficit and spatial neglect following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage
What it is
This code identifies lingering visuospatial problems or spatial neglect after a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. It is used when the patient has difficulty perceiving or responding to one side of space because of the prior bleed.
Clinical signs
Common findings include ignoring objects or people on one side, bumping into items, or failing to dress or eat from one side. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly links the visuospatial deficit or neglect to a previous nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. It should reflect a residual neurologic deficit, not the acute bleed itself. Use only when the provider documents this specific sequela.
Do not use for
Do not use it for acute intracranial hemorrhage or for nonspecific cognitive changes without documented spatial neglect. Check documentation if the deficit is not clearly tied to the prior hemorrhage.
Coding tip
Confirm that the note states both the residual deficit and the cause, because sequela coding depends on that documented relationship.
