ICD-10 Code I69.233 – Monoplegia of upper limb following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage affecting right non-dominant side (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.233 – Monoplegia of upper limb following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage affecting right non-dominant side
What it is
This code identifies one-sided paralysis or severe weakness of the upper limb that remains after a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. It applies when the affected side is the right, non-dominant upper limb.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include marked loss of voluntary movement, reduced strength, and impaired arm function on the right side. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record documents persistent monoplegia of the right upper limb due to a prior nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. The documentation should also support that the right side is non-dominant. If laterality or dominance is unclear, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use it for acute hemorrhage, generalized weakness, or hemiplegia affecting the whole side of the body. Do not assign it when the cause is traumatic or when the residual deficit is not documented.
Coding tip
Verify both the residual paralysis and the dominance/laterality details in the chart before reporting I69.233.
