Monoplg low lmb fol oth ntrm intcrn hemor aff unsp side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single lower limb that is a sequela of a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage other than a subarachnoid or intracerebral hemorrhage. The specific side of the body affected by the monoplegia is not documented or is unknown. This represents a long-term neurological deficit resulting from a past cerebrovascular event.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates monoplegia of a lower limb as a residual effect of a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., subdural, epidural, or intraventricular hemorrhage) where the specific side of the monoplegia is not specified. This code is appropriate for chronic conditions, not acute events. Documentation should confirm the causal link between the prior hemorrhage and the current monoplegia.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis for the current encounter, unless it is the reason for the encounter.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "monoplegia" of a "lower limb" and links it to a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage.
• Avoid using this code if the laterality of the monoplegia is specified (e.g., right or left lower limb); instead, use the more specific I69.241 or I69.242.
