CHF ICD 10 codes and guidelines Most of the heart failure codes include in chapter 9 of ICD-10 CM manual, diseases of circulatory system, code range I00-I99. Combination code – If patient has any type of heart failure and hypertension, it should be combined and coded as I11.0 eventhough physician has not linked both.
The NYHA classification is one of the most commonly used classification of HF, which is a functional classification based on patient’s limitation in physical activity/exertion caused by cardiac symptoms are given in Table 1 [13]. Table 1. NYHA classification of heart failure.
Congestive rheumatic heart failure; code to identify type of heart failure (I50.-) code to identify the heart failure (I50.-)
When coding biventricular heart failure (I50.82) it is necessary to code the type of left heart failure (systolic, diastolic, combined) also according to the “code also” note with I50.82 Decompensated or compensated heart failure should be coded as specific type as to systolic or diastolic, chronic or acute.
ICD-10-CM Code for Systolic (congestive) heart failure I50. 2.
Stage 2 of Congestive Heart Failure Stage two of congestive heart failure will produce symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations after you participate in physical activity. As with stage one, lifestyle changes and certain medication can help improve your quality of life.

I50. 9 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 I50. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Class II - Mild symptoms (mild shortness of breath and/or angina) and slight limitation during ordinary activity. Class III - Marked limitation in activity due to symptoms, even during less-than-ordinary activity, e.g. walking short distances (20—100 m). Comfortable only at rest. Class IV - Severe limitations.

When heart failure becomes severe enough to cause symptoms requiring immediate medical treatment, it is called decompensated heart failure (DHF). On the other hand, if you have heart failure but your heart is still functioning well enough that you don't have symptoms, you have compensated heart failure.
Heart failure — sometimes known as congestive heart failure — occurs when the heart muscle doesn't pump blood as well as it should. When this happens, blood often backs up and fluid can build up in the lungs, causing shortness of breath.

ICD-Code I10 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Essential (Primary) Hypertension.
One of the below diagnosis must be present to support medical necessity for B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) Testing. Abstract: B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a cardiac neurohormone produced mainly in the left ventricle.
The types are based on which part of the heart is affected. Left sided heart failure : This is the most common type of heart failure found in medical record. It is related to the pumping of blood by left ventricle. This can be either Systolic or Diastolic.
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a chronic heart condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood. It does not indicate that the heart has stopped working completely, instead the efficiency of heart has become less. Terms Heart failure and CHF are used interchangeably. Hence coder needs to code to the highest specific type ...
Right sided heart failure : It is related to the pumping of blood by right ventricle. Biventricular heart failure : This is a type of heart failure in which ventricles of both the sides are unable to pump enough blood.
Additional code for heart failure should also be coded. The word “congestive” is not mandatory when coding heart failure.
This can be either Systolic or Diastolic. Systolic – It is also called HFrEF which means heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Diastolic – Another term for this is HFpEF which means heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Right sided heart failure : It is related to the pumping of blood by right ventricle.
Your physician will likely “classify” your heart failure condition according to the severity of your symptoms. This classification system, known as the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification, places you into one of four categories based on your physical activity limitations.
The stages classified by the AHA and ACC are different than the New York Heart Association (NYHA) clinical classifications of heart failure that rank patients as class I-II-III-IV, according to the degree of symptoms or functional limits. Ask your doctor what stage of heart failure you are in.
The NYHA classification is one of the most commonly used classification of HF, which is a functional classification based on patient’s limitation in physical activity/exertion caused by cardiac symptoms are given in Table 1 [13] .
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the most debilitating and life-threatening complications of heart failure (HF) which has challenged medical care for long. Cur-rent guidelines suggest the use of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) in primary prevention of SCD in both New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II and class III heart failure. This paper critically evaluated the evidence underlying the guideline recommendation. In contrast to recent guidelines, the majority of the in-tervention trials conducted on the topic till date found a promising role of ICD only in the prevention of SCD in NYHA class II HF. One of the trials which found a sig-nificant role of ICD in type III heart failure was underpowered. Thus, further trials are needed to validate the use of ICD in the prevention of SCD in type III HF.
Clinically, heart failure (HF) is defined as a syndrome characterized by some cardinal features (breathlessness, peripheral edema, etc.) due to a functional or structural ab-normality of the heart, established by echocardiographic evidence, particularly as a re- duction in eje ction fraction (LVEF) [1]. The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in-cluded an additional criterion in the definition and that is, the response to treatment directed towards heart failure in case of doubtful diagnoses [2]. HF is generally consi-dered as a chronic condition traditionally resulting from left ventricular dysfunction with reduced LVEF (≤40%), which can be distinguished from a small proportion of HF with preserved EF (HF PEF) [3]. HF is a major public health issue with substantial mortality and morbidity which also poses a challenge to clinical diagnosis and generally affects the older segment of the population [4] [5]. Various clinical conditions includ-ing ischemic and non-ischemic heart diseases, metabolic and endocrine diseases, infec-tious and chronic diseases, use of cardiac and non-cardiac cardiotoxic drugs are some of the common factors causing HF [6]-[11]. The prevalence of HF has an increasing trend with 23 million people worldwide being affected in 2011 alone [4]. Framingham study indicated doubling of the incidence of HF with each increasing decade of age [12]. Various population-based studies including the Framingham study, Rochester- Epidemiology project and studies done by Cowie et al., Remes et al. found that the in-cidence rate of HF is around 1-4/1000 among the whole population and up to 16/1000 among those >65 years of age [1] [8]. Men are more frequently affected compared to the females [2]. The lifetime risk of developing HF is calculated to be 1 in 5 [4]. HF is also associated with high rates of hospitalization, readmissions, outpatient visits and health care cost [4]. In the early 90s, HF was the single leading cause of hospitalization and accounts for 0.2% of the admissions per annum in the European countries and has reached an epidemic proportion in many countries globally [1] [8] [12]. However, in the recent era with the development of newer and effective treatment strategies, there has been a relative reduction in hospitalization rate due to HF by 30% to 50% along with a slight decrease in mortality [1]. It is also associated with a significant portion of healthcare cost globally and exceeds $39 billion/year in the US only [4]. The increasing prevalence of HF coupled with its substantial impact on healthcare cost and quality of life is a major public health problem globally and emphasizes the need for better and effective preventive strategies for the management of HF.
ICD is a battery-operated device, which is placed in a pouch under the skin of chest, abdomen or collar bone and has a battery unit, which generates the pulse and 1 or 2 lead(s) placed in right ventricle &/or right atrium, which communicates between heart & device [23].
