Monoplg upr lmb fol ntrm intcrbl hemor aff right nondom side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single upper limb, specifically the right non-dominant arm, as a residual effect of a non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. It indicates a long-term neurological deficit resulting from a stroke within the brain tissue itself, not due to external injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents with established right upper limb monoplegia attributed to a past non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Documentation should clearly state the monoplegia, its laterality (right upper limb), the non-dominant side, and its etiology as a sequela of an intracerebral hemorrhage.

• Ensure documentation specifies "non-dominant" side for the affected limb; otherwise, an unspecified dominance code may be more appropriate.
• Verify the hemorrhage was non-traumatic; if traumatic, a different sequela code from the T90-T98 range would be indicated.
• This code is for the sequela (residual effect), not the acute stroke event itself. Sequence after the acute stroke code if still in the acute phase of care.
