Is I69 a billable ICD-10-CM code?

No. I69 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.

Where does I69 sit in the tabular list?

Diseases of the circulatory system (I00-I99), in the block Cerebrovascular diseases (I60-I69).

What cannot be coded together with I69?

I69 carries an Excludes1 note, which means the conditions it lists can never be coded together with it on the same encounter.

I69

I69 — Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

I69 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for sequelae of cerebrovascular disease. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

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.-)

Notes

Additional guidance from the ICD-10-CM tabular list.

Category I69 is to be used to indicate conditions in I60-I67 as the cause of sequelae. The 'sequelae' include conditions specified as such or as residuals which may occur at any time after the onset of the causal condition

Other codes that can never be billed with I69

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at I69. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading I69 alone.

R27.0Ataxia, unspecified
R29.810Facial weakness
R41.84Other specified cognitive deficit
R47.01Aphasia
R47.02Dysphasia
R47.1Dysarthria and anarthria
R47.8Other speech disturbances
R47.82Fluency disorder in conditions classified elsewhere

Risk adjustment

I69 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead I69

6 child codes. Green means billable.
