ICD-10 Code I69.89 – Other sequelae of other cerebrovascular disease (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.89 – Other sequelae of other cerebrovascular disease
What it is
This code identifies lingering effects from a prior cerebrovascular disease when the specific sequela is not classified elsewhere. It applies to residual conditions that remain after the acute event has ended.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see persistent neurologic deficits, functional impairment, or other aftereffects documented as due to a previous cerebrovascular condition.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly states a sequela from an earlier cerebrovascular disease and no more specific sequela code applies. It is appropriate for ongoing residual problems after the acute phase has resolved. Make sure the provider links the current condition to the prior cerebrovascular event.
Do not use for
Do not use it for an acute stroke, transient ischemic attack, or a condition unrelated to a prior cerebrovascular disease. If the documentation identifies a more specific sequela code, report that code instead.
Coding tip
Always code the residual deficit first, then verify the sequela linkage in the documentation before assigning I69.89.
