2021 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I27.21 Secondary pulmonary arterial hypertension 2018 - New Code 2019 2020 2021 Billable/Specific Code I27.21 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Group 4: Known as chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), this PH group is caused by blood clots in the lungs. The clots, in turn, cause scarring, which restricts blood flow in the lungs, causing the right side of the heart to work harder. Associated ICD-10-CM Code: I27.24 Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
Group 2: Groups 2-5 refer to secondary PH, beginning with “the most common form of PH,” according to the PHA. Group 2 PH occurs when problems with the left side of the heart cause blood to back up, raising pressure in the lung. Associated ICD-10-CM Code: I27.22 Pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease
Associated ICD-10-CM Code: I27.24 Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension Group 5: As its associated ICD-10 code suggests, this is a catch-all category of PH caused by other conditions. In this group, however, the causal connection between the conditions is not well understood.
Class III includes patients who experience no symptoms at rest but feel limited in normal activities due to shortness of breath, fatigue, or near fainting. Class IV refers to patients whose symptoms are present even at rest and are severe with any activity.
Group 2: Pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease: ICD-10-CM code I27. 22 (pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease) is reported for this type.

Group 1: Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) WHO Group 1 refers to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), which is caused when the arteries in the lungs become narrowed, thickened or stiff. The right side of the heart must work harder to push blood through these narrowed arteries.

Pulmonary hypertension, unspecified I27. 20 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 I27. 20 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.

Treatment for group 2 pulmonary hypertension consists primarily of treating the underlying left-sided heart disease. Treatment can include pharmacotherapies, surgery, or minimally invasive techniques (valve replacements, bypass grafting, assist devices).
