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)
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.
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.

Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris. I25. 10 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Code I25* is the diagnosis code used for Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease, also known as Coronary artery disease (CAD). It is a is a group of diseases that includes: stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden coronary death.
Left Cardiac Catheterization with PTCA One lesion was treated with a drug-eluting stent and the other lesion treated with PTCA only. The ICD-10-PCS code assignment for this case example is: 4A023NZ, Catheterization, Heart.
Z98. 61 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
PTCA, or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, is a minimally invasive procedure that opens blocked coronary arteries to improve blood flow to the heart muscle.

ICD-10-CM Code for Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) without angina pectoris I25. 810.
CPT codes 93454 and 93455 (catheter placement, angiography) should be billed, as appropriate, when coronary or bypass angiography without left heart catheterization is performed. CPT codes 93454 and 93455 may be billed only once per catheterization.
Angioplasty is a procedure to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. These blood vessels are called the coronary arteries. A coronary artery stent is a small, metal mesh tube that expands inside a coronary artery.
Coronary angioplasty (AN-jee-o-plas-tee), also called percutaneous coronary intervention, is a procedure used to open clogged heart arteries. Angioplasty uses a tiny balloon catheter that is inserted in a blocked blood vessel to help widen it and improve blood flow to the heart.
I25. 810 - Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) without angina pectoris | ICD-10-CM.
I25. 719 - Atherosclerosis of autologous vein coronary artery bypass graft(s) with unspecified angina pectoris | ICD-10-CM.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
PERCUTANEOUS TRANSLUMINAL REVASCULARIZATION OF OR THROUGH CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT ( INTERNAL MAMMARY, FREE ARTERIAL, VENOUS), ANY COMBINATION OF INTRACORONARY STENT, ATHERECTOMY AND ANGIOPLASTY, INCLUDING DISTAL PROTECTION WHEN PERFORMED ; EACH ADDITIONAL BRANCH SUBTENDED BY THE BYPASS GRAFT (LIST SEPARATELY IN ADDITION TO CODE FOR PRIMARY PROCEDURE)
Codes 92920-92944 describe percutaneous revascularization services performed for occlusive disease of the coronary vessels (major coronary arteries, coronary artery branches, or coronary artery bypass grafts). These percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) codes are built on progressive hierarchies with more intensive services inclusive of lesser intensive services. These PCI codes all include the work of accessing and selectively catheterizing the vessel, traversing the lesion, radiological supervision and interpretation directly related to the intervention (s) performed, closure of the arteriotomy when performed through access sheath, and imaging performed to document completion of the intervention in addition to the invention (s) performed. These codes include angioplasty (e.g., balloon, cutting balloon, wired balloons, cryoplasty), atherectomy (e.g., directional, rotational, laser); and stenting (e.g., balloon expandable, self-expanding, bare metal, drug eluting, covered). Each code in this family includes the balloon angioplasty, when performed. Diagnostic coronary angiography codes 93454-93461 and injection procedure codes 93563-93564 should not be used with PCI services 92920-92944 to report:
You, your employees and agents are authorized to use CPT only as contained in the following authorized materials of CMS internally within your organization within the United States for the sole use by yourself, employees and agents. Use is limited to use in Medicare, Medicaid or other programs administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). You agree to take all necessary steps to insure that your employees and agents abide by the terms of this agreement.
Angiography during the procedure, used to monitor the course of the intervention, is considered part of the PCI and is not separately billable to Medicare. Diagnostic angiography may be separately payable in situations where no previous catheter-based coronary angiography study is available, or a previous study is no longer adequate due to changes in the patient’s condition.
If a single lesion extends from one target vessel (major coronary artery, coronary artery bypass graft, or coronary artery branch) into another target vessel, but can be revascularized with a single intervention bridging the two vessels, this PCI should be reported with a single code despite treating more than one vessel (92928).
The deployment of a device for distal embolic protection during an interventional procedure is considered part of the more complex procedure and is not separately billable.
