I10 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Essential (primary) hypertension. It is found in the 2020 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2019 - Sep 30, 2020. Essential hypertension is high blood pressure that doesn't have a known secondary cause.
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.
Instead, use the following codes:
A value greater than or equal to 35 mm Hg is considered PAH and classified as follows: mild PAH (35–50 mm Hg), moderate PAH (50–70 mm Hg), and severe pulmonary hypertension (> 70 mm Hg) [15].

There are three types of pulmonary arterial hypertension based on the origin of the cause: idiopathic, heritable, and drug and toxin-induced.
The term pulmonary hypertension refers to high blood pressure in the lungs. While in regular hypertension (also known as high blood pressure), the arteries throughout the body are constricted, PH primarily affects the blood vessels in the lungs, making the right side of the heart work harder.
Pulmonary hypertension was previously divided into primary and secondary categories; primary pulmonary hypertension described an idiopathic hypertensive vasculopathy exclusively affecting the pulmonary circulation, whereas secondary pulmonary hypertension was associated with a causal underlying disease process.
Pulmonary hypertension is a type of high blood pressure that affects the arteries in the lungs and the right side of the heart. In one form of pulmonary hypertension, called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), blood vessels in the lungs are narrowed, blocked or destroyed.
Generalized anxiety is one of the causes of white-coat hypertension. Systolic hypertension – Refers to the elevated systolic blood pressure. Gestational hypertension – High blood pressure in pregnancy. Hypertensive crisis- A severe increase in blood pressure that can lead to stroke. Hypertensive urgencies.
Hypertension: Hypertension is a very common chronic problem that many patients especially the elderly ones suffer from. Accurate documentation regarding the cause/type of hypertension is the key to accurate coding of the diagnoses related to hypertension.
