Related ICD-10 Code Ranges

Complete code families applicable to Coronary Artery Disease with Stent

I25.10-I25.9Primary Range

Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease

This range includes codes for coronary artery disease, including those with and without angina, and is relevant for documenting CAD with stent.

Presence of Coronary Angioplasty Implant and Graft

This code indicates the presence of a coronary stent and is used in conjunction with CAD codes.

Stenosis of Coronary Artery Stent

This code is used for complications related to coronary stents, such as stenosis.

Postprocedural Cardiac Functional Disturbance

This code is used when a postprocedural complication, such as a myocardial infarction due to a stent, occurs.

Code Comparison: When to Use Each Code

CodeDescriptionWhen to UseKey Documentation
I25.10Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectorisUse when documenting CAD without angina and a stent is present.
  • Coronary angiography showing atherosclerosis
  • Absence of angina symptoms
Z95.5Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graftUse to document the presence of a coronary stent.
  • Medical history indicating stent placement
T82.855AStenosis of coronary artery stent, initial encounterUse when documenting stenosis of a coronary stent.
  • Angiography showing stenosis within the stent
I97.190Postprocedural cardiac functional disturbanceUse when a cardiac disturbance occurs post-stent placement.
  • Documentation of myocardial infarction following stent placement

Clinical Decision Support

Always review the patient's clinical documentation thoroughly. When in doubt, choose the more specific code and ensure documentation supports it.

Decision Criteria

clinical Criteria

  • Patient has CAD without angina and a stent is present.

Applicable To

  • Coronary artery disease without angina

Excludes

  • Acute myocardial infarction (I21.-)

Clinical Validation Requirements

  • Coronary angiography showing atherosclerosis
  • Absence of angina symptoms

Code-Specific Risks

  • Misclassification if angina is present

Coding Notes

  • Ensure documentation specifies absence of angina.

Ancillary Codes

Additional codes that should be used in conjunction with the main diagnosis codes when applicable.

Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft

Z95.5
Use to indicate the presence of a coronary stent.

Differential Codes

Alternative codes to consider when ruling out similar conditions to the primary diagnosis.

Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery with angina pectoris

I25.11
Presence of angina symptoms differentiates this code.

Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris

I25.10
Stenosis is within the stent, not the native artery.

Other myocardial infarction type

I21.A9
Use when MI is not related to a procedure.

Documentation & Coding Risks

Avoid these common documentation and coding issues when documenting Coronary Artery Disease with Stent to ensure proper reimbursement, maintain compliance, and reduce audit risk. These guidelines are particularly important when using ICD-10 code I25.10.

Impact

Clinical: May lead to inappropriate treatment decisions., Regulatory: Non-compliance with documentation standards., Financial: Potential for denied claims due to incomplete documentation.

Mitigation Strategy

Use templates to ensure all relevant details are captured., Regular training on documentation standards.

Impact

Reimbursement: Incorrect DRG assignment may affect payment., Compliance: Non-compliance with coding guidelines., Data Quality: Inaccurate clinical data recording.

Mitigation Strategy

Verify angiography results to confirm stenosis location.

Impact

Incorrect coding of stent complications can lead to audit issues.

Mitigation Strategy

Ensure thorough documentation and correct code sequencing.

Documentation errors, coding pitfalls, and audit risks are interconnected aspects of medical coding and billing. Addressing all three areas helps ensure accurate coding, optimal reimbursement, and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ICD-10 coding for Coronary Artery Disease with Stent, with expert answers to help guide accurate code selection and documentation.

Documentation Templates for Coronary Artery Disease with Stent

Use these documentation templates to ensure complete and accurate documentation for Coronary Artery Disease with Stent. These templates include all required elements for proper coding and billing.

Patient with CAD and stent presenting with chest pain

Specialty: Cardiology

Required Elements

  • Stent history and placement details
  • Current symptoms and diagnostic findings
  • Linkage of symptoms to stent or native CAD

Example Documentation

Patient with history of LAD stent presents with chest pain. Angiography shows 80% in-stent restenosis. NSTEMI confirmed by elevated troponin.

Examples: Poor vs. Good Documentation

Poor Documentation Example
Patient with CAD and stent presents with chest pain.
Good Documentation Example
Patient with CAD and LAD stent presents with chest pain. Angiography shows 80% in-stent restenosis. NSTEMI confirmed by elevated troponin.
Explanation
The good example specifies the stent location and links symptoms to in-stent restenosis.
