Fntl lb and exec fcn def following other ntrm intcrn hemor

This code signifies a persistent neurological deficit characterized by impaired frontal lobe functions and executive abilities, such as planning, problem-solving, decision-making, and emotional regulation. These deficits are a direct sequela of a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage) that has resolved.

Apply this code when documentation clearly links a patient's current frontal lobe and executive dysfunction to a previous nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. This is appropriate for chronic or long-term deficits, not acute hemorrhage. Supporting documentation should include neurological assessments detailing the specific cognitive impairments and a history confirming the nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the underlying nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (if still active or relevant for the encounter).
• Differentiate from acute hemorrhage codes; this code is for sequelae or late effects.
• Ensure documentation specifies "nontraumatic" to avoid confusion with traumatic brain injury sequelae.
