Hemiplga following ntrm subarach hemor aff right nondom side

This code signifies residual weakness or paralysis on the right side of the body (hemiplegia or hemiparesis) that developed as a consequence of a subarachnoid hemorrhage not caused by trauma. It specifically indicates that the right side is the non-dominant side for the patient.

Use this code for patients presenting with chronic right-sided hemiplegia or hemiparesis clearly documented as a sequela of a prior nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Documentation must specify the laterality (right side) and the non-dominant status of that side.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nontraumatic" subarachnoid hemorrhage as the etiology of the hemiplegia/hemiparesis.
• Verify the affected side (right) and its dominance status (non-dominant) are clearly documented by the clinician.
• Do not use acute stroke codes or codes for hemiplegia/hemiparesis due to other causes.
