Reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) – also referred to as systolic heart failure. The heart muscle does not contract effectively, and therefore less oxygen-rich blood is pumped out to the body. Tests for measuring EF. Your doctor may recommend one or more of these tests to measure your ejection fraction:
The new codes are for describing the infusion of tixagevimab and cilgavimab monoclonal antibody (code XW023X7), and the infusion of other new technology monoclonal antibody (code XW023Y7).

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) happens when the left side of your heart doesn't pump blood out to the body as well as normal.
There are two types of left-sided heart failure. Drug treatments are different for the two types. Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), also called systolic failure: The left ventricle loses its ability to contract normally. The heart can't pump with enough force to push enough blood into circulation.
An EF under 40% is considered reduced (HFrEF), and over 40% is considered a preserved EF (HFpEF). Many patients will have an EF between 40-49% which is considered mildly reduced. More recently, this mild reduction in EF has been termed HFmrEF or heart failure with a mid-range EF.
3.
People with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) have an EF that is 40 to 50 percent or lower. This is also called systolic heart failure. People with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) do not have much of a change in their ejection fraction.

systolic heart failure or heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by structural and/or functional impairment of the left ventricle, resulting in a decrease in heart pump function (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 40%), which is associated with an ...
2.1 Ejection fraction (EF) terminology This guideline uses the following terms: HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF): LVEF ≥ 50%; HF with a mid-range ejection fraction (HFmEF): LVEF 41-49%; HF with a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF): LVEF ≤ 40%.
]. Nowadays, diastolic heart failure is referred to as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), whereas systolic heart failure is referred to as heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), also referred to as diastolic heart failure, is characterized by signs and symptoms of heart failure and a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) greater than 50%.
Assign code I50. 9, heart failure NOS for a diagnosis of congestive heart failure. “Exacerbated” or “Decompensated” heart failure – Coding guidelines advise that “exacerbation” and “decompensation” indicate an acute flare-up of a chronic condition.
9 – Heart Failure, Unspecified. Code I50. 9 is the diagnosis code used for Heart Failure, Unspecified.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I50.2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A code also note instructs that 2 codes may be required to fully describe a condition but the sequencing of the two codes is discretionary, depending on the severity of the conditions and the reason for the encounter.
In this part, the ICD-10-PCS procedure codes are presented. For FY2021 ICD-10-PCS there are 78,115 total codes (FY2020 total was 77,571); 556 new codes (734 new last year in FY2020)…
In June CMS released the final ICD-10-PCS codes for FY2022, which begins October 1, 2021. We are giving you a sneak peek at the changes. HIA will have a full educational module on these changes available later this summer.
CMS released the IPPS proposed rule on 4/27/21 outlining the proposed changes to the Inpatient Prospective Payment System for FY2022, which begins October 1, 2021. Later this year, sometime in August, CMS will release the Final Rule.
In January, new CPT codes were released. There were 248 new CPT codes added, 71 deleted and 75 revised. Most of the surgery section changes were in the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular subsections. These included procedures such as skin grafting, breast biopsies, deep drug delivery systems, tricuspid valve repairs, aortic grafts and repair of iliac artery.
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.
Signs and symptoms include shortness of breath, pitting edema, enlarged tender liver, engorged neck veins, and pulmonary rales.
Heart failure accompanied by edema, such as swelling of the legs and ankles and congestion in the lungs.
