would you also still code the corresponding ischemic CVA? I started to look for the corresponding dxs, found several (Cerebral infarction/stroke, NOS, Cerebral infarction/stroke due to embolism, Stroke, NOS, maybe others) and realized that there is partial duplication of further related info in there. Do you think this is something to take to Task/JALT or can we pull it into a template (possibly this one) or a separate Category:ICD10 Coding Guidelines page without Allan?

Comorbid Rule exception
Regular comorbid rules exception: Strokes (of any sort, ischemic or hemorrhagic) include any residual deficits by linking with the stroke code -- code even resolved strokes with no current sequelae as comorbid diagnoses. If a patient has a past history of stroke, use the regular stroke codes to identify this, even if the patient does not have any residual deficits we will now capture ANY past history of stroke. This is contrary to the usual rules about Comorbid_Diagnosis#When_not_to_code_a_dx_at_all.
