Cognitive social or emo def fol other cerebvasc disease

This code signifies a cognitive, social, or emotional impairment that has developed as a direct consequence of a cerebrovascular event other than a stroke (e.g., transient ischemic attack, cerebral hemorrhage not specified as stroke, or other non-stroke cerebrovascular conditions). These deficits can manifest as difficulties with memory, attention, executive function, social interaction, or emotional regulation.

Apply this code when documentation clearly links a patient's cognitive, social, or emotional deficits to a previous cerebrovascular disease that is not explicitly coded as a stroke. This typically requires physician documentation specifying the type of cerebrovascular event and the resulting neurological sequelae. Use when the patient presents with ongoing functional limitations in these areas.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "other cerebrovascular disease" as the etiology, not a completed stroke.
• Do not use this code if the cognitive, social, or emotional deficits are due to a current or past stroke (I69.31- or I69.91-).
• Always sequence this code after the code for the underlying cerebrovascular disease if it is still active, or as a primary diagnosis if the sequelae are the primary reason for the encounter.
