Attn and concentration deficit fol unsp cerebvasc disease

This code signifies a cognitive impairment characterized by difficulty sustaining focus and attention, and/or problems with concentration, that has developed as a direct consequence of a cerebrovascular event of an unspecified nature. It describes a persistent neurological sequela affecting executive function.

Use this code when documentation clearly links a patient's attention and concentration deficits to a prior cerebrovascular disease, but the specific type of cerebrovascular disease (e.g., ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke) is not specified. This code is appropriate when the clinician explicitly diagnoses post-CVD attention/concentration deficit.

• Ensure the medical record explicitly states the attention/concentration deficit is "following" or "due to" cerebrovascular disease.
• Avoid using this code if the specific type of cerebrovascular disease is known; instead, use a more specific I69.x10 code.
• Do not use for general cognitive decline not directly attributed to a cerebrovascular event.
