Researching coding of CVA/TIA and wondering if there is any time frame that you would code an active CVA or TIA after the initial episode(1-7 days post hospitalization, etc??). I know you code the sequela related to the event such as hemiplegia and/or hemiparesis from I69 etc , and if no neurologic deficit related to the event code a Z code. Just wondering when the patient is considered "not experiencing current episode". Any help would be appreciated.
