Unsp symp and signs w cogn fnctns fol ntrm subarach hemor

This code signifies the presence of persistent, unspecified cognitive impairments that are a direct sequela of a nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. These symptoms and signs affect various cognitive domains, such as memory, attention, executive function, or language, without a more specific diagnosis being documented.

Use this code when documentation clearly links cognitive deficits to a previous nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, but the specific nature or type of cognitive dysfunction is not detailed (e.g., "post-SAH cognitive impairment"). This code is appropriate when the provider has not specified a more precise cognitive disorder (e.g., aphasia, amnesia) following the hemorrhage.

• Do not use this code if a more specific cognitive sequela (e.g., I69.011 for aphasia) is documented.
• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the cognitive issues are "following" or "due to" a nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.
• This code is for residual effects; the acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (I60.-) would be coded separately during the acute phase.
