Hemiplga following ntrm intcrbl hemor aff right nondom side

This code signifies residual weakness (hemiparesis) or paralysis (hemiplegia) on the right side of the body, resulting from a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. It specifically indicates that the affected right side is the patient's non-dominant side. This neurological deficit is a sequela of the prior hemorrhage.

Apply this code when a patient presents with persistent right-sided hemiplegia or hemiparesis that is documented as a long-term effect of a spontaneous (nontraumatic) intracerebral bleed. Documentation should clearly state the laterality (right side), the type of neurological deficit (hemiplegia/hemiparesis), and confirm the non-dominant status of the affected side.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nontraumatic" to differentiate from traumatic brain injury sequelae.
• Verify laterality (right side) and dominance (non-dominant) are explicitly stated in the medical record.
• This code is for the sequela of the hemorrhage; the acute hemorrhage code would be used during the initial treatment phase.
