Unsp symp and signs w cogn fnctns fol oth ntrm intcrn hemor

This code signifies residual cognitive impairments, such as memory loss, attention deficits, or executive dysfunction, that persist after a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage). It indicates that the specific nature of these cognitive symptoms or signs has not been further specified in the medical record.

Use this code when a patient presents with documented cognitive sequelae following a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, and the physician's documentation does not provide specific details about the type of cognitive deficit (e.g., "post-hemorrhagic cognitive impairment"). This code is appropriate when the cognitive dysfunction is clearly linked to the prior hemorrhage and is not due to another underlying condition.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the underlying nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., I60.-, I61.-).
• Avoid using this code if more specific cognitive deficits (e.g., aphasia, amnesia) are documented; instead, use the more precise I69.21- subcategories.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the cognitive symptoms to the prior hemorrhage and specifies that the hemorrhage was nontraumatic.
