Actually, 428.0 is just the unspecified CHF code. To be more precise you would want to know if it is systolic or diastolic and from there you would code it with the 4th digit "3" as "acute on chronic". (example: 428.23 systolic heart failure/acute on chronic). There isn't an actual "exacerbation" code for CHF that I am aware of.
I50.21 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Acute systolic (congestive) heart failure .

When coding biventricular heart failure (I50.82) it is necessary to code the type of left heart failure (systolic, diastolic, combined) also according to the “code also” note with I50.82 Decompensated or compensated heart failure should be coded as specific type as to systolic or diastolic, chronic or acute.

What is CHF exacerbation? CHF exacerbation occurs when there is an increase in or worsening of heart failure symptoms. Heart failure happens when your heart is unable to pump enough blood throughout your body.
Chronic systolic (congestive) heart failure I50. 22 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 I50. 22 became effective on October 1, 2021.
813 Acute on chronic right heart failure (acute on chronic isolated right heart failure, acute on chronic (isolated) right ventricular failure, acute decompensation of chronic (isolated) right ventricular failure or acute exacerbation of chronic (isolated) right ventricular failure.
With respect to fluid overload and CCF, Coding Matters Volume 7 No 3 under Congestive heart failure advises it is not necessary to code fluid overload in a patient with CHF.
Heart failure exacerbations: definition, cause, & effect A heart failure exacerbation is any abnormality associated with the muscles of the heart and/or its function. As a result, patients can experience a variety of symptoms that indicate the heart is compromised. The most common symptoms include: Shortness of breath.
The most common factors contributing to CHF exacerbation include excessive salt intake due to lack of knowledge of, or failure to comply with, salt restriction; other miscellaneous noncardiac disorders; use of inappropriate medications (antiarrhythmic agents, calcium channel blockers, or inappropriate reductions in ...
Conclusions Patients hospitalized for acute exacerbation of severe CHF have a generally poor 6-month survival, but survivors retain relatively good functional status and have good health perceptions.

Acute heart failure can result from an event such as a viral infection or blockage affecting an artery around the heart. Doctors may call this “de novo” acute heart failure. It may instead result from damage in the heart, which may have developed over time. Doctors may call this “acute on chronic” heart failure.

Clinical symptoms of heart failure include: unusual dyspnea on light exertion, recurrent dyspnea occurring in the supine position, fluid retention or rales, jugular venous distension, pulmonary edema on physical exam, or pulmonary edema on chest x-ray presumed to be cardiac dysfunction.
Heart failure accompanied by edema, such as swelling of the legs and ankles and congestion in the lungs.
Signs and symptoms include shortness of breath, pitting edema, enlarged tender liver, engorged neck veins, and pulmonary rales.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I50.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (ventricular dysfunction), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as myocardial infarction.
Congestive Heart Failure is a chronic complex clinical syndrome which prevents filling or emptying of blood from the heart. CHF is caused by either a structural (valvular or congenital) and/or a dysfunctional (myocardial infarction) anomaly. The most frequently observed clinical manifestations include shortness of breath, edema and weight gain. Of those that are diagnosed about half of the patients will die within five years from their initial date of diagnosis.
The top level of blood pressure is called as systolic and the lower level is called diastolic. The systolic level is reached when the heart pumps the blood out to flow all through the body. Hypertension occurs when they blood pressure level reached above 140.
From a wellness standpoint, patients with CHF should be re-evaluated every 30 to 90 days. At every visit, the patient should be:
The diagnosis of CHF is progressive, which requires chronic disease management. The stages of disease progression are as follows:
