Monoplg low lmb fol oth cerebvasc disease aff left dom side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single lower limb (monoplegia) that developed as a sequela of a cerebrovascular event other than a stroke, such as a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or a non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. The neurological deficit specifically impacts the left dominant side of the body.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates monoplegia of the left lower limb resulting from a past cerebrovascular disease other than a stroke. This is appropriate for chronic or long-term effects, not acute events. Supporting documentation should specify the affected limb, the underlying cerebrovascular etiology, and the laterality/dominance.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "other cerebrovascular disease" and not an acute stroke (I60-I67).
• Verify the monoplegia affects the left lower limb and that the patient is left dominant.
• This code is for sequelae; do not use for acute cerebrovascular events.
