I69.31 — Cognitive deficits following cerebral infarction
I69.31 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for cognitive deficits following cerebral infarction. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Other codes that can never be billed with I69.31
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at I69.31. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading I69.31 alone.
Risk adjustment
I69.31 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.
How I69.31 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to I69.31.
