ICD-10-CM assumes a causal relationship and this is coded as hypertensive heart disease with CHF and an additional code for the specific type of heart failure. In this case, the PDX of hypertensive heart disease with CHF (I11.0) is reported as the PDX followed by the code for the heart failure (I50.9) Under the Category I50 in the ICD-10-CM ...
Instead, use the following codes:
Portal hypertension. K76.6 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 K76.6 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD- 10-CM version of K76.6 - other international versions of ICD- 10 K76.6 may differ.
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
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.
ICD-10 Code for Systolic (congestive) heart failure- I50. 2- Codify by AAPC.
I13. 0 - Hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease with heart failure and stage 1 through stage 4 chronic kidney disease, or unspecified chronic kidney disease. ICD-10-CM.
Hypertensive cardiomyopathy is classified to codes 402.9x and 425.8.
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.

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).
ICD-10-CM code I27. 22 (pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease) is reported for this type.
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.
If the provider specifically documents a different cause for the heart condition unrelated to high blood pressure, then the HTN and heart condition should be coded separately and not linked via a combination code. In such cases, sequence according to the circumstances of the admission/encounter.
ICD-10-CM Code for Hypertensive heart disease without heart failure I11. 9.
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 ...
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.
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.
Hypertensive Heart and Chronic Kidney Disease: The codes in category I13, Hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease, are combination codes that include hypertension, heart disease and chronic kidney disease, and should be used when there is hypertension with both heart and kidney involvement.
CKD should not be coded as hypertensive if the physician has specifically documented a different cause. The appropriate code from category N18 should be used as a secondary code with a code from category I12 to identify the stage of chronic kidney disease.
The ICD code I11 is used to code Hypertension. Hypertension (HTN or HT), also known as high blood pressure, is a long term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated. Blood pressure is expressed by two measurements, the systolic and diastolic pressures, which are the maximum and minimum pressures, ...
Normal blood pressure at rest is within the range of 100–140 millimeters mercury (mmHg) systolic and 60–90 mmHg diastolic.
