Generalized and unspecified atherosclerosis ICD-9-CM 440.9 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 440.9 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
440.0 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of atherosclerosis of aorta.
Triple vessel disease of the heart ICD-9-CM Coding Information 414.01 is only applicable to adult patients aged 15 - 124 years inclusive. ICD-9-CM Volume 2 Index entries containing back-references to 414.01:
I25.119 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Athscl heart disease of native cor art w unsp ang pctrs. The 2018/2019 edition of ICD-10-CM I25.119 became effective on October 1, 2018.
Atheroclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, is caused by the accumulation of a fatty substance called plaque on the inside of the walls of the arteries. This is a condition that affects up to 35% of Americans.
Arterial occlusive disease is a condition in which the arteries throughout the body gradually become narrowed. It can affect arms and legs. Often, patients who suffer from lower extremity arterial occlusive disease also have other conditions, such as carotid artery disease and heart disease.
Peripheral Artery Disease (ICD-10 code I73. 9) is estimated to affect 12 to 20% of Americans age 65 and older with as many as 75% of that group being asymptomatic (Rogers et al, 2011).

The narrowing is usually due to a buildup of fatty deposits (plaques) on the artery walls. Peripheral artery disease (also called peripheral arterial disease) is a common condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the arms or legs.
Occlusive peripheral arterial disease is blockage or narrowing of an artery in the legs (or rarely the arms), usually due to atherosclerosis and resulting in decreased blood flow. Symptoms depend on which artery is blocked and how severe the blockage is.
Atherosclerosis of native arteries of the extremities ICD-10-CM I70. 219 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 299 Peripheral vascular disorders with mcc. 300 Peripheral vascular disorders with cc.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is often used interchangeably with the term “peripheral vascular disease (PVD).” The term “PAD” is recommended to describe this condition because it includes venous in addition to arterial disorders.
ICD-10 code I70 for Atherosclerosis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is chronic arterial occlusive disease of the lower extremities caused by atherosclerosis. The PAD may cause intermittent claudication which is pain or weakness with walking that is relieved with rest. The muscle pain or weakness after exercise occurs distal to the arterial obstruction.
Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of chronic arterial occlusive disease of the lower extremities. The arterial narrowing or obstruction that occurs as a result of the atherosclerotic process reduces blood flow to the lower limb during exercise or at rest.
Ischemic disease of the lower extremities, also called leg ischemia, occurs when an artery in the leg is partially or completely blocked by plaque, limiting blood flow and reducing the amount of oxygen supplied to the leg.
440.0 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of atherosclerosis of aorta. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-9 Code Edits are applicable to this code:
Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries. Plaque is a sticky substance made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood. Over time, plaque hardens and narrows your arteries. That limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your body.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
