ICD-10 Code I69.290 – Apraxia following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.290 – Apraxia following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage
What it is
This code identifies apraxia that occurs as a late effect of a prior nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. The patient has difficulty carrying out learned purposeful movements, even though strength and understanding may be relatively preserved.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include impaired motor planning, trouble performing familiar tasks on command, and inconsistent errors with gestures or tool use. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use I69.290 when the record links apraxia directly to a previous nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage and the hemorrhage is no longer acute. The documentation should show a residual neurologic deficit, not an active bleed. If the provider does not clearly connect the apraxia to the old hemorrhage, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for apraxia from trauma, congenital conditions, or another neurologic disorder. It is also incorrect when the hemorrhage is current or when apraxia is not documented as a residual effect.
Coding tip
Code the residual deficit only when the provider explicitly states it is due to the prior hemorrhage.
