WHAT IS THE ICD 9 CODE FOR STROKE?

The ICD-9 code for a stroke, specifically a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), is 434.91 for an unspecified stroke and 433.XX for other specific types, such as 433.01 for occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery. It's important to note that the ICD-9 coding system has been largely replaced by ICD-10, which provides more specific codes for different types of strokes.
