I69.291 Dysphagia following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage

Billable ICD-10-CM code, FY2026. Exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting.

Use additional code

• code to identify the type of dysphagia, if known (R13.11-R13.19)

Applies from I69 Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease

Excludes1 (never code together)

• 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

• 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

MS-DRG index

Defines the logic of DRG(s) 056-057 in MDC 01.
