Psychomotor deficit following other ntrm intcrn hemorrhage

This code signifies a neurological deficit characterized by impaired motor and cognitive functions, such as slowed movements, difficulty with coordination, and reduced mental processing speed, that occurs as a sequela of a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage). It indicates a lasting impact on the patient's ability to plan, initiate, and execute movements, often accompanied by cognitive slowing.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a psychomotor deficit that is a direct consequence of a previous nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. This applies to chronic or residual psychomotor impairments observed after the acute phase of the hemorrhage has resolved. Documentation should specify the type of nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage and the presence of psychomotor slowing or dysfunction.

• Always sequence this code after the primary code identifying the specific type of nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., I60.-, I61.-, I62.-) if the patient is still being treated for the sequela.
• Distinguish from other neurological deficits following hemorrhage; this code specifically targets psychomotor impairment, not general motor weakness or cognitive impairment without the motor component.
• Ensure the documentation explicitly links the psychomotor deficit to the nontraumatic nature of the intracranial hemorrhage.
