I69 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for sequelae of cerebrovascular disease, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as I69.00, I69.010, I69.011, and I69.012.

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to I69: its own notes plus those printed at block I60-I69 and Chapter 9. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Excludes1

Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

On I69 itself
  • 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.-)
From Block I60-I69 Cerebrovascular diseases applies to 410 codes
  • traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (S06.-)

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

From Chapter 9 (I00-I99) Diseases of the circulatory system applies to 1,433 codes
  • 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.-)

Use Additional Code

Add a second code, after this one, to fully describe the condition.

From Block I60-I69 Cerebrovascular diseases applies to 410 codes
  • 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)

Notes

General instructions on how these codes are used.

  • 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

Patient EducationClinical

Brain Diseases

Your brain is the control center of your body. It controls your thoughts, memory, speech, and movement. It regulates the function of many organs. It's part of your nervous system, which also includes your spinal cord and peripheral nerves. The nervous system sends signals between your brain and the rest of the body.

Questions About I69Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for sequelae of cerebrovascular disease?

I69 is the ICD-10-CM category for sequelae of cerebrovascular disease, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is I69 (Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for sequelae of cerebrovascular disease, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for sequelae of cerebrovascular disease need a more specific code from this category, such as I69.00, I69.010, and I69.011.

Can I69 be reported with Z86.73?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on I69 lists "personal history of cerebral infarction without residual deficit (Z86.73)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
