I51. 7 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
If the provider documents their is no relationship between hypertension and heart disease or renal disease we can code it separately for Hypertension I10 and Heart disease/renal disease category.
For this patient, CHF and hypertension would be coded as code I11. 0, Hypertensive heart disease with heart failure since the causal relationship is assumed due to the word “with” following the main term in the Alphabetic Index under hypertension. Since the heart disease falls within the code range of I50. - or I51.
Heart failure is assumed to be due to hypertension when coded using I11. 0, “Hypertensive heart disease with heart failure.” In ICD-10, the word “with” presumes a causal relationship between the two conditions linked by this term.

What is hypertensive heart disease? Hypertensive heart disease is a long-term condition that develops over many years in people who have high blood pressure. It's a group of medical problems ― like heart failure and conduction arrhythmias ― that can happen when you don't control your high blood pressure (hypertension).
Hypertensive heart disease refers to heart problems that occur because of high blood pressure that is present over a long time. Hypertension is a disorder characterized by consistently high blood pressure.

If hypertension, heart failure and chronic kidney disease are all documented, use a combination code from category I13 — hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease. These are just a few examples of conditions that have an assumed causal relationship in ICD-10-CM.
Hypertension described as benign, malignant, controlled, uncontrolled, and primary would be coded here unless it belongs in another category code. A condition of elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension is classified to code R03.
Enlargement of the heart, usually indicated by a cardiothoracic ratio above 0.50. Heart enlargement may involve the right, the left, or both heart ventricles or heart atria. Cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (heart failure) or several forms of cardiomyopathies.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I51.7 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Enlargement of the heart due to chamber hypertrophy, an increase in wall thickness without an increase in the number of cells (myocytes, cardiac). It is the result of increase in myocyte size, mitochondrial and myofibrillar mass, as well as changes in extracellular matrix.
For this patient, CHF and hypertension would be coded as code I11.0, Hypertensive heart disease with heart failure since the causal relationship is assumed due to the word “with” following the main term in the Alphabetic Index under hypertension. Since the heart disease falls within the code range of I50.- or I51.4-I51.9 the link would be assumed. Additional code for the type of heart failure would be assigned as a secondary diagnosis, I50.9. This was verified at the AHIMA Coding Community meeting in Baltimore, MD on October 15, 2016 by Nelly Leon-Chisen.
In ICD-10-CM, the word “with” should be interpreted to mean “associated with” or “due to” when it appears in a code title, the Alphabetic Index, or an instructional note in the Tabular List. The classification presumes a causal relationship between the two conditions when linked by these terms in the Alphabetic Index or Tabular List.
Patient is discharged with final diagnosis of atherosclerotic heart disease (CAD) with unstable angina and hypertension. For this patient, the causal relationship would not be linked because the heart disease does not fall within the code range listed for the causal effect to be assumed. CAD falls within the code range of I25.-. The code range for the assumed link is I50.- or I51.4-I51.9 only.
The classification presumes a causal relationship between hypertension and heart involvement and between hypertension and kidney involvement, as the two conditions are linked by the term “with” in the Alphabetic Index. Even in the absence of provider documentation explicitly linking them, these conditions should be coded as related.
I11.9 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease without heart failure. The code I11.9 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code I11.9 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like benign hypertensive heart disease, benign hypertensive heart disease without congestive heart failure, cardiomegaly, cardiomegaly - hypertensive, cardiomyopathy due to hypertension , coronary sinus hypertension as complication of procedure, etc.
Primary, or essential, high blood pressure is the most common type of high blood pressure. For most people who get this kind of blood pressure, it develops over time as you get older.
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code I11.9:
When your blood pressure stays high over time, it causes the heart to pump harder and work overtime, possibly leading to serious health problems such as heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and kidney failure.
If you're like most people, you think that heart disease is a problem for others. But heart disease is the number one killer in the U.S. It is also a major cause of disability. There are many different forms of heart disease. The most common cause of heart disease is narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart itself. This is called coronary artery disease and happens slowly over time. It's the major reason people have heart attacks.
If your high blood pressure is caused by another medical condition or medicine, treating that condition or stopping the medicine may lower your blood pressure.
As in ICD-9, this code includes “high blood pressure” but does not include elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension (that would be ICD-10 code R03.0) . If a patient has progressed from elevated blood pressure to a formal diagnosis of hypertension, a good documentation practice would be to include the reason for progressing the formal diagnosis. Similarly, a single mildly elevated blood pressure reading should be coded with the R03.0 until the formal diagnosis is established.
In ICD-9, essential hypertension was coded using 401.0 (malignant), 401.1 (benign), or 401.9 (unspecified). ICD-10 uses only a single code for individuals who meet criteria for hypertension and do not have comorbid heart or kidney disease. That code is I10, Essential (primary) hypertension.
The exception to this is I15.8, Other secondary hypertension. Because this is an “other” code, the “other” condition must be coded first.
In most cases, you would use one of the following codes found in chapter 5 , “Mental, Behavioral, and Neurodevelopmental Disorders”:
Example: You have been following a 60-year-old male with hypertension and mild heart failure. You have coded I11.0 and I50.9. He recently had an acute exacerbation of his heart failure, was briefly hospitalized, and had an echocardiogram performed documenting combined systolic and diastolic failure. At discharge, you update his diagnosis codes to I11.0 and I50.43. When you see him in the office two weeks post-discharge and he is asymptomatic, his diagnosis codes could be I11.0 and I50.42 reflecting the chronic nature of his condition.
If you do not have a measurement of the left ventricular ejection fraction (typically from an echocardiogram), then you would need to use the more general left ventricular failure code (I50.1) .
Although various sources define hypertension slightly differently, the provider should document elevated systolic pressure above 140 or diastolic pressure above 90 with at least two readings on separate office visits. There are slight variations of this for older individuals and for individuals with readings obtained through ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. From a documentation viewpoint, it is only important that the provider clearly document the basis for a newly established diagnosis.
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.
