ICD-10 Code I69.263 – Other paralytic syndrome following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage affecting right non-dominant side (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.263 – Other paralytic syndrome following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage affecting right non-dominant side
What it is
This code identifies residual paralysis or other paralytic syndrome after a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, affecting the right non-dominant side. Use it when the weakness is a late effect of the prior hemorrhage, not an acute event.
Clinical signs
Findings may include unilateral weakness, reduced motor control, abnormal gait, or impaired use of the right side. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the exact neurologic deficit and whether the side is documented as non-dominant.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record states persistent paralysis or similar motor deficit due to a previous nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, and the affected side is the right non-dominant side. It is appropriate for follow-up visits documenting residual deficits after the acute bleed has resolved. Do not use it if the chart describes only history of hemorrhage without a current neurologic deficit.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for acute intracranial hemorrhage, transient weakness, or paralysis from another cause. Check documentation if the side, dominance, or relationship to the hemorrhage is unclear.
Coding tip
Verify that the provider links the paralysis to the prior hemorrhage and documents laterality and dominance before assigning I69.263.
