Monoplg low lmb fol ntrm intcrbl hemor aff left nondom side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single lower limb, specifically the left, as a sequela of a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. The hemorrhage has resulted in neurological deficits impacting the non-dominant side of the brain. This represents a long-term neurological impairment rather than an acute event.

Apply this code for patients presenting with persistent left lower limb monoplegia documented as a residual effect of a past intracerebral hemorrhage not caused by trauma. Documentation should clearly state the laterality of the monoplegia, the non-traumatic nature of the hemorrhage, and its impact on the non-dominant cerebral hemisphere. This code is used for chronic conditions, not for the initial acute hemorrhage.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nontraumatic" intracerebral hemorrhage; otherwise, a different code series (e.g., I69.2 or I69.3) may be appropriate.
• Verify the laterality of the monoplegia (left lower limb) and that it's a sequela, not an acute condition.
• Sequence this code after the primary diagnosis if the monoplegia is a secondary condition being treated or evaluated.
