Hemiplga fol oth cerebvasc disease aff right nondom side

This code signifies weakness or paralysis affecting one side of the body (hemiplegia or hemiparesis) that developed as a sequela of a cerebrovascular event other than an ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke (e.g., cerebral venous thrombosis, transient ischemic attack with residual deficits). Specifically, it indicates that the right side of the body is affected, and this side is considered non-dominant for the patient.

Use this code when documentation clearly states residual right-sided hemiplegia or hemiparesis resulting from a cerebrovascular disease other than stroke, and specifies the right side as non-dominant. This typically applies to follow-up encounters for chronic neurological deficits. Supporting documentation includes physician notes detailing the etiology of the cerebrovascular event, the specific neurological deficit, and the affected side's dominance.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "non-dominant" for the affected right side; otherwise, an unspecified dominance code may be more appropriate.
• This code is for sequelae (late effects); an additional code for the original cerebrovascular disease may be necessary if it is still active and relevant to the current encounter.
• Differentiate carefully between hemiplegia/hemiparesis following ischemic stroke (I69.3-), hemorrhagic stroke (I69.1-), and other cerebrovascular diseases.
