Please provide clarification on the correct code assignment for a residual deficit of muscle weakness secondary to late effect of cerebrovascular accident. We have a difference of opinion on whether this should be coded to code 438.2x, Late effects of cerebrovascular disease, hemiplegia/ hemiparesis. What is the appropriate code assignment for residual weakness that is a late effect of CVA? Assign code 438.89, Other late effects of cerebrovascular disease and code 728.87, Muscle weakness, for residual muscle weakness secondary to late effect of cerebrovascular accident.
