ICD-10 Code I69.29 – Other sequelae of other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.29 – Other sequelae of other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage
What it is
This code identifies late effects that remain after a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, such as a prior bleed in the brain that is no longer acute. Use it when the current problem is a residual condition, not the active hemorrhage.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Residual findings may include neurologic deficits, cognitive changes, or other persistent impairments attributed to the earlier hemorrhage.
When to use this code
Use I69.29 when the record clearly states the patient has sequelae from a previous nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. This is appropriate for ongoing deficits or complications that persist after the acute event has resolved. Confirm the documentation links the current condition to the past hemorrhage.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for an active intracranial hemorrhage or for symptoms not documented as a sequela. If the chart does not connect the finding to the prior bleed, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the residual condition first when documented, and verify that the provider identifies the hemorrhage as the cause of the sequela.
