Questions About I69.922Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for dysarthria following unspecified cerebrovascular disease?

The ICD-10-CM code for dysarthria following unspecified cerebrovascular disease is I69.922 (sometimes written as I69922). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Is I69.922 a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report dysarthria following unspecified cerebrovascular disease on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does I69.922 group to?

When dysarthria following unspecified cerebrovascular disease is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 57, 56, with relative weights from 1.2835 to 2.2649 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Is I69.922 exempt from POA reporting?

Yes. CMS lists this code among those exempt from present on admission reporting, so hospitals do not assign a POA indicator for dysarthria following unspecified cerebrovascular disease on inpatient claims. The code appears in the Cerebrovascular diseases (I60-I69) range of the CMS exempt list.

Can I69.922 be reported with I69.3?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at I69.9, which applies to I69.922, lists "sequelae of stroke (I69.3)". 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).
