how do you code uncontrolled hypertension? Hypertension, whether uncontrolled, untreated or not responding to current medication, is assigned code I10. An instructional note provided for categories I10-I15 states to use an additional code to identify exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z77. You may ask, What are ICD 10 codes used for?
Example of hypertension and heart involvement: 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.
ICD-10-CM Code for Hypertensive heart disease without heart failure I11. 9.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E78. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of E78.
I11. 9, Hypertensive heart disease without heart failure.
9 – Heart Failure, Unspecified. Code I50. 9 is the diagnosis code used for Heart Failure, Unspecified.
Hypertension - hypertensive heart; High blood pressure - hypertensive heart. Hypertensive heart disease refers to heart problems that occur because of high blood pressure that is present over a long time.
uncontrolled hypertension. Code I10 for HTN is assigned when HTN is described as essential, benign or malignant as well as when HTN is not otherwise specified (NOS). hypertensive heart disease: I11. 0 (with heart failure) and I11.
Hyperlipidemia, UnspecifiedCode E78. 5 is the diagnosis code used for Hyperlipidemia, Unspecified, a disorder of lipoprotein metabolism other lipidemias. It is a condition with excess lipids in the blood.
ICD-10 code E78. 2 for Mixed hyperlipidemia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
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.
HYPERTENSION, SECONDARY Secondary hypertension is due to an underlying condition. Two codes are required: ❖ one to identify the underlying etiology ❖ one from category I15 to identify the hypertension. Sequencing of codes is determined by the reason for admission/encounter. HYPERTENSION, TRANSIENT Assign code R03.
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-CM presumes a causal relationship between hypertension and heart involvement and classifies hypertension and heart conditions to category I11 — hypertensive heart disease — because the two conditions are linked by the term with in the alphabetic index of the ICD-10-CM.

Hypertensive crisis can involve hypertensive urgency or emergency. Hypertension can occur with heart disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD) or both. ICD-10-CM classifies hypertension by type as essential or primary (categories I10-I13) and secondary (category I15)....Coding spotlight: Provider's guide to coding hypertension.CodeDescriptionI51.9Heart disease, unspecified5 more rows
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. If heart failure is present, an additional code ...
When assigning diagnosis codes for hypertension (HTN), there is an presumed causal relationship between hypertension and heart involvement, and between hypertension and kidney involvement. The ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting (I.C.9) instruct, “These conditions should be coded as related even in the absence of provider documentation explicitly linking them, unless the documentation clearly states the conditions are unrelated.” The Guidelines further specify:
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.
Clinical symptoms of heart failure include: unusual dyspnea on light exertion, recurrent dyspnea occurring in the supine position, fluid retention or rales, jugular venous distension, pulmonary edema on physical exam, or pulmonary edema on chest x-ray presumed to be cardiac dysfunction.
Signs and symptoms include shortness of breath, pitting edema, enlarged tender liver, engorged neck veins, and pulmonary rales.
A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (ventricular dysfunction), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as myocardial infarction.
Heart failure accompanied by edema, such as swelling of the legs and ankles and congestion in the lungs.
