Apraxia following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage

This code signifies apraxia that develops as a sequela of a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, excluding subarachnoid or intracerebral hemorrhage. Apraxia is a neurological disorder characterized by the inability to perform learned movements on command, despite having the desire and physical ability to do so. This specific code indicates that the apraxia is a residual effect of a hemorrhage not caused by trauma.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of apraxia that is a direct consequence of a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage other than subarachnoid or intracerebral. This would apply to patients presenting with motor planning deficits after a spontaneous hemorrhage in locations such as the subdural or epidural spaces, or intraventricularly, when not due to injury. Supporting documentation should specify the type of apraxia and the causal link to the prior hemorrhage.

• Always sequence this code after the code identifying the specific type of nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., I61.x for intracerebral hemorrhage, I60.x for subarachnoid hemorrhage, or other relevant hemorrhage codes if applicable).
• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "apraxia" and links it as a "sequela" or "due to" the prior nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage.
• Distinguish from other neurological deficits post-hemorrhage, such as aphasia or ataxia, which have different ICD-10-CM codes.
