Assesment: CVA with left sided weakness (unspecified dominant or nondominate sided)
By definition, hemiparesis = weakness, therefore I would conclude that the correct code would be 438.20 (late effect of CVA with hemiparesis/hemiplegia). There are many debates, with out a concise direction, for this code I would appreciate some guidance, please
Should I code 438.20
-OR-
438.89 and 780.79
