ICD-10 Code I69.214 – Frontal lobe and executive function deficit following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.214 – Frontal lobe and executive function deficit following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage
What it is
This code identifies a lingering frontal lobe or executive function deficit that occurs after a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. It reflects a late effect, not the acute bleed itself.
Clinical signs
Look for impaired planning, judgment, organization, attention, or problem-solving after the hemorrhage. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use I69.214 when the record clearly links the cognitive or executive deficit to a prior nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. Documented sequelae such as difficulty managing tasks, slowed reasoning, or reduced initiative support use of this code. If the note does not specify the relationship, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for the acute hemorrhage itself or for nonspecific cognitive complaints without a documented post-hemorrhagic cause. Do not assign it if the deficit is due to another neurologic condition. Check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the sequela only when the provider states the deficit is a late effect of the hemorrhage.
