I36.11.
There are two ICD-10-CM codes to report for this type of pulmonary hypertension. I27. 0 (primary pulmonary hypertension) and I27. 21 (secondary pulmonary arterial hypertension).

Secondary pulmonary arterial hypertension I27. 21 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) due to chronic lung disease (eg, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, or overlap syndromes) or conditions that cause hypoxemia (eg, obstructive sleep apnea, alveolar hypoventilation disorders) are classified as having group 3 PH (table 1).Sep 13, 2021

In one form of pulmonary hypertension, called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), blood vessels in the lungs are narrowed, blocked or destroyed. The damage slows blood flow through the lungs, and blood pressure in the lung arteries rises.
ICD-Code I10 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Essential (Primary) Hypertension.
Stages of pulmonary arterial hypertensionClass 1. The condition doesn't limit your physical activity. ... Class 2. The condition slightly limits your physical activity. ... Class 3. The condition significantly limits your physical activity. ... Class 4. You're unable to carry out any type of physical activity without symptoms.
“Pulmonary” means “in the lungs,” and “hypertension” means “high blood pressure.” Pulmonary hypertension is an increase in pressure in the blood vessels that carry blood to the lungs.Jan 29, 2021
Class IV: These are patients with pulmonary hypertension who are unable to perform any physical activity without symptoms. These patients manifest signs of right-sided heart failure, dyspnea or fatigue may even be present at rest, and discomfort is increased by any physical activity.Aug 6, 2021
Common symptoms of Pulmonary Hypertension 1 Dyspnea/Shortness of breath 2 Fatigue 3 Dizziness/syncopal episodes/feeling of being lightheaded 4 Chest pain or pressure 5 Swelling of ankles, legs and eventually the abdomen 6 Cyanosis/bluish color to lips and/or skin 7 Palpitation of the heart or racing pulse 8 Decreased appetite 9 Upper right side abdominal pain
So, this is pressure that is focused on the blood flow in the lungs. Secondary PH is always caused by something else or due to another condition.
As stated above, there is no cure for the disease pulmonary hypertension. But medication/treatment can lessen the symptoms and improve quality of life. Here are a few life style changes that can improve the symptoms: Record your weight. If there is a rapid weight gain it may be a sign of worsening.
Some forms of pulmonary hypertension are not curable but there are medications that can help lessen the symptoms and improve quality of life. Pulmonary hypertension is different than systemic high blood pressure/hypertension. Pulmonary blood pressure reflects the pressure the heart exerts to pump blood from the heart through the lung arteries.
Regurgitation - when blood leaks back through the valve in the wrong direction. Mitral valve prolapse - when one of the valves, the mitral valve, has "floppy" flaps and doesn't close tightly. It's one of the most common heart valve conditions. Sometimes it causes regurgitation.
The main sign of heart valve disease is an unusual heartbeat sound called a heart murmur. Your doctor can hear a heart murmur with a stethoscope. But many people have heart murmurs without having a problem. Heart tests can show if you have a heart valve disease.
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code I36.1:
Your heart has four valves. Normally, these valves open to let blood flow through or out of your heart, and then shut to keep it from flowing backward. But sometimes they don't work properly. If they don't, you could have
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code I36.1 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
