Angina diagnosis is done through tests like electrocardiogram (EKG), stress testing, chest X-ray, and blood tests. Chest pain from angina can be similar to a heart attack. Your doctor will examine you first and ask questions about your symptoms and medical history.
In addition to angina, CAD may cause the following symptoms:
I20. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
I20. 9 angina pectoris, unspecified: This code is assigned when the documentation states angina, ischemic chest pain, or anginal syndrome.
Types of AnginaStable angina.Unstable angina.Microvascular Angina.Vasospastic or variant angina.
Angina pectoris is the medical term for chest pain or discomfort due to coronary heart disease. It occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get as much blood as it needs. This usually happens because one or more of the heart's arteries is narrowed or blocked, also called ischemia.
Angina pectoris with documented spasm I20. 1 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 I20. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10-CM Code for Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery with unspecified angina pectoris I25. 119.
Stable angina. Stable angina is the most common form of angina. It usually happens during activity (exertion) and goes away with rest or angina medication. For example, pain that comes on when you're walking uphill or in the cold weather may be angina.
There are three types of angina:Stable angina is the most common type. It happens when the heart is working harder than usual. ... Unstable angina is the most dangerous. It does not follow a pattern and can happen without physical exertion. ... Variant angina is rare. It happens when you are resting.
The most common cause of angina is coronary artery disease (CAD), in which the arteries that transport blood to and from your heart are narrowed due to the buildup of plaque, which is called atherosclerosis. That said, angina most often occurs during stress, physical activity, extreme cold, or a large meal.
It's sometimes called angina pectoris or ischemic chest pain. It's a symptom of heart disease, and it happens when something blocks your arteries or there's not enough blood flow in the arteries that bring oxygen-rich blood to your heart. Angina usually goes away quickly.
The two main types of angina are stable angina and unstable angina.
413.9 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other and unspecified angina pectoris. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
There are three types of angina: Stable angina is the most common type.
Your heart muscle needs the oxygen that the blood carries. Angina may feel like pressure or a squeezing pain in your chest. It may feel like indigestion. You may also feel pain in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back.
The official coding guidelines that apply to outpatient coding do not allow coding for an “uncertain” diagnosis.
Chest pain is a common complaint in the urgent care setting, and is not always related to an acute heart condition. The characteristics of chest pain depend on the cause, and may be described as ischemic, nonischemic, noncardiac gastroesphageal, pulmonary, or musculoskeletal.#N#Ischemic cardiac diagnoses includes angina, myocardial infarction, aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and coronary vasospasm. Nonischemic cardiac causes of chest pain include pericarditits, aortic dissection, and mitral valve prolapse.#N#Non-cardiac causes may include gastroesophageal, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and dermatologic events. Gastroesophageal causes may include reflux esophagitis, esophageal spasm, esophageal perforation, gastritis and peptic ulcer disease, and achalasia. Pulmonary causes may include pneumothorax, pulmonary embolism, pleuritis, neoplasm, and bronchitis. Musculoskeletal causes may include costochondritis, rib fracture, compression fracture. One dermatologic cause is herpes zoster (shingles).#N#Anxiety or panic attacks often bring on bouts of chest pain, accompanied by intense fear, rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing (hyperventilation), profuse sweating, and shortness of breath.#N#The official coding guidelines that apply to outpatient coding do not allow coding for an “uncertain” diagnosis. Instead, the patient’s symptoms and signs are acceptable for reporting purposes when the provider has not established (confirmed) a diagnosis.#N#To index chest pain in ICD-9-CM, start with main term pain, sub-term chest, followed byessential modifiers describing the type of chest pain. Essential modifiers must be documented as indicated to code the specific type of chest pain.
The primary diagnosis code for the EKG should be chest pain, unspecified (786.50). Although the EKG was normal, a definitiv e cause for the chest pain was not determined.
Coronary artery disease (CAD), also known as ischemic heart disease (IHD), is a group of diseases that includes: stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden coronary death. It is within the group of cardiovascular diseases of which it is the most common type.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code I20.9 and a single ICD9 code, 413.9 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
I20.9 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Angina pectoris, unspecified . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically. See also:
