Oth symp and signs w cogn fnctns fol other ntrm intcrn hemor

This code signifies residual cognitive deficits, such as memory impairment, executive dysfunction, or language difficulties, that persist after a non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage). It describes the long-term neurological sequelae affecting cognitive domains, not the acute event itself.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient is experiencing ongoing cognitive impairments directly attributable to a past non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. This applies to chronic or persistent cognitive symptoms identified during follow-up visits, rehabilitation, or long-term care. Supporting documentation includes neurological evaluations, neuropsychological testing results, and physician notes linking the cognitive deficits to the prior hemorrhage.

• Always sequence this code after the appropriate code for the underlying non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., I60.-, I61.-) if the patient is still being treated for the sequelae.
• Do not use this code for acute cognitive changes during the initial hemorrhage or for cognitive deficits due to traumatic brain injury (TBI).
• Ensure the documentation specifies "other" cognitive symptoms if more specific codes (e.g., I69.211 for aphasia) are not applicable.
