Monoplg upr lmb fol oth cerebvasc disease aff right dom side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single upper limb, specifically the right dominant arm, as a sequela of a cerebrovascular event other than a stroke (e.g., non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, cerebral aneurysm rupture). It indicates a chronic neurological deficit resulting from a past cerebrovascular disease.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states right dominant upper limb monoplegia as a residual effect of a cerebrovascular disease other than stroke. This diagnosis is typically made after the acute phase of the cerebrovascular event has passed and the neurological deficit is stable. Supporting documentation includes neurological evaluations, physical therapy assessments, and physician notes detailing the etiology and specific limb involvement.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right dominant" and "upper limb" to differentiate from other laterality or limb involvement.
• Confirm the cerebrovascular disease is not a stroke; if it is, a different I69.3- code would be appropriate.
• This code represents a sequela; therefore, it should be sequenced after the acute cerebrovascular event if both are still being treated.
