ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I25.70 Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft (s), unspecified, with angina pectoris Atherosclerosis of CABG, unsp, w angina pectoris ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I25.71
First, a discussion of applicable ICD-10-PCS guidelines is essential. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ Official ICD-10-PCS Coding Guidelines: ICD-10-PCS Guideline B3.6b.
In honor of American Heart Month, this month’s Code Cracker explores the guidelines for coding heart procedures. There are a few specific guidelines associated with procedures done on the coronary arteries in ICD-10-PCS which need to be reviewed.
If multiple coronary artery sites are bypassed, a separate procedure is coded for each coronary artery site that uses a different device and/or qualifier. ICD-10-PCS Guideline B3.9. If an autograft is obtained from a different body part in order to complete the objective of the procedure, a separate procedure is coded. ICD-10-PCS Guideline B4.4.
ICD-10-CM Code for Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) without angina pectoris I25. 810.
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) x4 A portion of the left greater saphenous vein was harvested using an open approach. The procedure was completed utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass. The ICD-10-PCS code assignment for this case example is: 02120Z9, Bypass, artery, coronary, Three sites.
Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) without angina pectoris. I25. 810 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I25.
A quintuple bypass surgery is an open heart surgery done to treat severely blocked arteries that feed the heart.
Code 35600 is reported with codes 33533-33536. If the procedure involves a combination of artery and vein bypass grafts, report the arterial code (33533-33536) for the number of bypasses performed with an artery, as well as an add-on code for the number of bypasses performed using a vein (33517-33523).
B3. 6c If multiple coronary arteries are bypassed, a separate procedure is coded for each coronary artery that uses a different device and/or qualifier.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a type of surgery called revascularization, used to improve blood flow to the heart in people with severe coronary artery disease (CAD). CABG is one treatment for CAD.
Thus, patients with severe diffuse coronary disease can undergo multiple (eight or more) bypass grafting procedures with low mortality rates and improved exercise tolerance and functional classification.
— When a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patient needs a second surgery because of recurrent chest pain, more often than not it's a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), commonly known as coronary angioplasty with stents.
What is multiple bypass surgery? Sometimes several arteries are blocked, and several bypasses are needed. If, for example, there were blockages in all three coronary arteries and one branch, a person would get four bypasses. This is called quadruple bypass surgery.

Intraoperative cardiac arrest during cardiac surgery I97. 710 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I97.
Any Medicare patient undergoing CABG with a designation of Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) 231-236 (Table 1) and not participating in a separate alternative pay- ment program would be eligible for the bundled payment program.
Surgery in which a healthy blood vessel taken from another part of the body is used to make a new path for blood around a blocked artery leading to the heart. This restores the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the heart. Also called aortocoronary bypass and coronary artery bypass grafting.
For hierarchical condition categories (HCC) used in Medicare Advantage Risk Adjustment plans, certain diagnosis codes are used as to determine severity of illness, risk, and resource utilization. HCC impacts are often overlooked in the ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM conversion. The physician should examine the patient each year and compliantly document the status of all chronic and acute conditions. HCC codes are payment multipliers.
Note: There is nothing in the documentation that says that there was an error in the prescription for Coumadin or that the patient took it incorrectly. If the prescription was correctly prescribed and correctly administered/taken then it would be an adverse effect.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z95.5 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Z77-Z99 Persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status
ICD-9-CM requires separate codes for the PTCA, insertion of stents, number of stents, and how many vessels are treated. ICD-10-PCS has one comprehensive code that describes the number of sites treated (not vessels) with PT CA and the type of stent used. If different devices (drug-eluting, non-drug-eluting, radioactive, or no stent) are used in one procedure, separate codes are assigned to indicate how many vessels are treated with that type of device.
Patient with CAD is admitted for PTCA and stenting of 3 coronary arteries. Drug-eluting stents were placed in the RCA x 2 and LAD.
Rationale: Both ICD-9-CM and ICD -10-PCS require a distinct code for the LIMA bypass. The aorto-coronary bypasses are coded differently in ICD-9-CM vs. ICD-10-PCS with ICD-10-PCS requiring separate codes for the different types of devices (i.e., autologous artery, autologous vein). The cardiopulmonary bypass is coded similarly in both code sets. ICD-10-PCS also requires separate codes for the harvesting of the bypass grafts, which are coded with the root operation Excision since only a portion of the artery/vein was removed.

Coronary artery disease, also known as CAD, develops when the major blood vessels that supply your heart become damaged or diseased. Cholesterol-containing deposits (plaques) in your coronary arteries and inflammation are usually to blame for coronary artery disease. Contents hide.
Eventually, the reduced blood flow may cause chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms. A complete blockage can cause a heart attack. Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades, you might not notice a problem until you have a significant blockage or a heart attack.
