How is I69.21 listed in the Alphabetic Index?

These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to I69.21. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.

  • Sequelae › hemorrhage › intracranial, nontraumatic NEC › cognitive deficits (of)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from I60-I69

The conditions below can never be reported together with I69.21 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (S06.-)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from I69

The conditions below can never be reported together with I69.21 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • personal history of cerebral infarction without residual deficit (Z86.73)
  • personal history of prolonged reversible ischemic neurologic deficit (PRIND) (Z86.73)
  • personal history of reversible ischemic neurologcial deficit (RIND) (Z86.73)
  • sequelae of traumatic intracranial injury (S06.-)

Use additional code — inherited from I60-I69

Report an additional code alongside I69.21 to fully describe the condition. I69.21 is sequenced first.

  • code to identify presence of:
  • alcohol abuse and dependence (F10.-)
  • exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z77.22)
  • history of tobacco dependence (Z87.891)
  • hypertension (I10-I1A)
  • occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z57.31)
  • tobacco dependence (F17.-)
  • tobacco use (Z72.0)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 9

The conditions below are not part of I69.21, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I69.21 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
  • congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
  • endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
  • injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
  • neoplasms (C00-D49)
  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)
  • systemic connective tissue disorders (M30-M36)
  • transient cerebral ischemic attacks and related syndromes (G45.-)

How long has I69.21 existed?

I69.21 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.

  • FY2018: I69.21 stopped being billable
