2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Billable/Specific Code. I21.3 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction of unsp site. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM I21.3 became effective on October 1, 2019.
Short description: STEMI involving left anterior descending coronary artery. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM I21.02 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I21.02 - other international versions of ICD-10 I21.02 may differ.
Code I21.4, Non‐ST elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction, is used for non‐ST elevation MI and nontransmural MIs. If NSTEMI evolves to STEMI, assign the STEMI code. If STEMI converts to NSTEMI due to thrombolytic therapy, it is still coded as STEMI.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I22 Subsequent ST elevation (STEMI) and non-ST elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction
I25. 2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Myocardial infarction is the medical term for a heart attack. An infarction is a blockage of blood flow to the myocardium, the heart muscle. That blockage causes the heart muscle to die. A STEMI is a myocardial infarction that causes a distinct pattern on an electrocardiogram (abbreviated either as ECG or EKG).
There are mainly two types of MI such as: ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI): This is also known as Transmural Acute MI and occurs as a result of atherosclerosis involving a major coronary artery.
410.21 - Acute myocardial infarction of inferolateral wall, initial episode of care. ICD-10-CM.
ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) coronary spasm, or unstable angina.
A STEMI (ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction) is the most severe type of heart attack. A heart attack or myocardial infarction happens when an artery supplying blood to the heart suddenly becomes partially or completely blocked by a blood clot.
An acute MI should be reported for up to 4 weeks (28 days) with a code from category I21. Encounters for care related to the MI after the 4‐week timeframe should be coded with the appropriate aftercare code. An old or healed MI, not requiring further care, should be coded as I25. 2, Old Myocardial Infarction.
NSTEMI is caused by a block in a minor artery or a partial obstruction in a major artery. STEMI occurs when a ruptured plaque blocks a major artery completely.
A code from category I22, Subsequent ST elevation (STEMI) and non ST elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction, is to be used when a patient who has suffered an AMI has a new AMI within the 4 week time frame of the initial AMI. A code from category I22 must be used in conjunction with a code from category I21.
3 for ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction of unspecified site is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
ICD-10-CM Code for ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction of inferior wall I21. 1.
An ST elevation is considered significant if the vertical distance inside the ECG trace and the baseline at a point 0.04 seconds after the J-point is at least 0.1 mV (usually representing 1 mm or 1 small square) in a limb lead or 0.2 mV (2 mm or 2 small squares) in a precordial lead.
