Cognitive social or emo def following ntrm intcrbl hemor

This code signifies a persistent impairment in social interaction, emotional regulation, or cognitive processing that arises as a direct consequence of a non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. These deficits are not acute but rather represent a lasting neurological sequela impacting a patient's ability to function socially and emotionally.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient is experiencing chronic cognitive, social, or emotional difficulties directly attributable to a past intracerebral hemorrhage that was not caused by trauma. This code is appropriate for long-term follow-up and management of these specific post-hemorrhage deficits. Documentation should specify the non-traumatic nature of the hemorrhage and the presence of these particular sequelae.

• Always sequence this code after the appropriate code for the underlying non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (e.g., I61.-).
• Ensure documentation explicitly states "non-traumatic" to differentiate from traumatic brain injury sequelae.
• Do not use this code for acute cognitive, social, or emotional changes immediately following the hemorrhage; it is for sequelae.
