CAD ICD 10 codes and guidelines CAD ICD 10 Codes are located in chapter 9, diseases of circulatory system, code range I00-I99 Below are few guidelines to follow when coding CAD Remember to confirm if the CAD is in native artery (artery with which the person is born) or bypass graft (graft inserted during CABG procedure)
Presence of stent of cabg (bypass); Presence of stent, right coronary artery; Stent in anterior descending ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I25.701 [convert to ICD-9-CM] Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft (s), unspecified, with angina pectoris with documented spasm
Atherosclerosis of CABG, unsp, w oth angina pectoris; other forms of angina pectoris without atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft (I20.8) ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I25.708 Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s), unspecified, with other forms of angina pectoris
"In diseases classified elsewhere" codes are never permitted to be used as first listed or principle diagnosis codes. They must be used in conjunction with an underlying condition code and they must be listed following the underlying condition.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the blockage of coronary arteries due to cholesterol and fatty deposits called plaques. This is a chronic disease which can lasts for years or be lifelong. Heart attack occurs if the coronary artery is completely blocked.
Symptoms includes chest pain or angina and shortness of breath. Conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity and family history of heart disease are risk factors for CAD.
Remember to confirm if the CAD is in native artery (artery with which the person is born) or bypass graft (graft inserted during CABG procedure) Angina should be combined and coded with CAD unless there is documentation that the angina is due to some other reason.
Angina should be combined and coded with CAD unless there is documentation that the angina is due to some other reason. See for excludes 1 note when coding CAD and angina. See for ‘code first’ note with I25.82 and I25.83. I25.10 – CAD. This is the common code used for unspecified CAD of native artery without angina.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
Over time, cad can also weaken the heart muscle and contribute to heart failure and arrhythmias. Heart failure means the heart can't pump blood well to the rest of the body. Arrhythmias are changes in the normal beating rhythm of the heart. Deposition of cholesterol and lipid in the inner layer of the blood vessel.
