I69.918 Other symptoms and signs involving cognitive functions following unspecified cerebrovascular disease

Billable ICD-10-CM code, FY2026.

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)

• 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

Applies from I69.9 Sequelae of unspecified cerebrovascular diseases

Excludes1 (never code together)

• sequelae of stroke (I69.3)
• sequelae of traumatic intracranial injury (S06.-)
