Next, let’s review the coding guidelines in relation to hypertension. In the cases where the physician documents either elevated high blood pressure or transient hypertension, assign the code 796.2, elevated blood pressure reading without diagnosis of hypertension. Coding secondary hypertension requires two codes.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) If TSH is <0.500 uIU/mL or >4.500 uIU/mL then Free T4 (FT4) will be performed at an additional charge (CPT 84439). Herein, what does CPT code 84443 mean? CPT 84443, Under Chemistry Procedures The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 84443 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Chemistry Procedures.

For hypertension documented as accelerated or malignant (not hypertensive crisis, urgency, or emergency), look to category I10 Essential (primary) hypertension. ICD-10-CM instructions tell us when reporting from category I16, we should, “Code also any identified hypertensive disease (I10-I15).
I16. 0 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 I16.
The two new codes—99473 and 99474—support home blood-pressure monitoring, which provides useful information physicians can use to better diagnose and manage hypertension.

When your blood pressure stays high over time, it causes the heart to pump harder and work overtime, possibly leading to serious health problems such as heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and kidney failure.
There are two main types of high blood pressure: primary and secondary high blood pressure. Primary, or essential, high blood pressure is the most common type of high blood pressure. For most people who get this kind of blood pressure, it develops over time as you get older.
This is called systolic pressure. When your heart is at rest, between beats, your blood pressure falls. This is called diastolic pressure. Your blood pressure reading uses these two numbers. Usually the systolic number comes before or above the diastolic number. For example, 120/80 means a systolic of 120 and a diastolic of 80.
Blood pressure is the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. Each time your heart beats, it pumps blood into the arteries. Your blood pressure is highest when your heart beats, pumping the blood. This is called systolic pressure.

If your high blood pressure is caused by another medical condition or medicine, treating that condition or stopping the medicine may lower your blood pressure.
Abnormal blood-pressure reading, without diagnosis 1 R03 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM R03 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R03 - other international versions of ICD-10 R03 may differ.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 796.2 was previously used, R03.0 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
