I69.914 — Frontal lobe and executive function deficit following unspecified cerebrovascular disease

BillableUnspecified

Is I69.914 billable?

Yes, but I69.914 is an unspecified code. I69.914 is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, I69.914 is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting I69.914 — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from I60-I69

The conditions below can never be reported together with I69.914 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 I69.914 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.-)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from I69.9

The conditions below can never be reported together with I69.914 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • sequelae of stroke (I69.3)
  • sequelae of traumatic intracranial injury (S06.-)

Use additional code — inherited from I60-I69

Report an additional code alongside I69.914 to fully describe the condition. I69.914 is sequenced first.

  • code to identify presence of:

  • tobacco use (Z72.0)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 9

The conditions below are not part of I69.914, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I69.914 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 I69.914 existed?

I69.914 first appears in FY2018 (FY2017 is not available, so it may have appeared then).

Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
