Complete code families applicable to Coronary Disease Status Post Stent Placement

Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft

Used to indicate the presence of a coronary stent without active complications.

T82.855APrimary Range

Stenosis of coronary artery stent

Primary code for complications related to stent stenosis.

I97.190Primary Range

Postprocedural cardiac functional disturbance

Used when there is a cardiac disturbance following a procedure, such as an MI due to stent failure.

Code Comparison: When to Use Each Code

Compare key differences between these codes to ensure accurate selection

CodeDescriptionWhen to UseKey Documentation
Z95.5Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graftUse when the patient has a coronary stent without any active complications.
  • Documentation of stent placement without current complications
T82.855AStenosis of coronary artery stentUse when there is confirmed stenosis within a coronary stent causing clinical symptoms.
  • Angiographic evidence of stenosis within the stent
  • Clinical symptoms consistent with ischemia
I97.190Postprocedural cardiac functional disturbanceUse when there is a cardiac disturbance following a procedure, such as an MI due to stent failure.
  • Elevated troponin levels
  • New ischemic ECG changes post-PCI

Clinical Decision Support

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

Key Information: How do you code in-stent restenosis?

Essential facts and insights about Coronary Disease Status Post Stent Placement

Decision Criteria

documentation Criteria

  • Presence of a coronary stent without complications

Applicable To

  • Status post coronary stent placement

Excludes

  • Active complications of stent (e.g., stenosis, thrombosis)

Clinical Validation Requirements

  • Documentation of stent placement without current complications

Code-Specific Risks

  • Incorrectly using as a primary code for active complications

Coding Notes

  • Use as a secondary code when documenting the presence of a stent.

Ancillary Codes

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

Postprocedural cardiac functional disturbance

I97.190
Use when there is a cardiac disturbance following stent placement.

Differential Codes

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

Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery

I25.10
Use when stenosis is in a native vessel, not within a stent.

Documentation & Coding Risks

Avoid these common documentation and coding issues when documenting Coronary Disease Status Post Stent Placement to ensure proper reimbursement, maintain compliance, and reduce audit risk. These guidelines are particularly important when using ICD-10 code Z95.5.

Impact

Clinical: Misdiagnosis of the condition leading to inappropriate treatment., Regulatory: Non-compliance with coding standards., Financial: Potential for denied claims due to insufficient documentation.

Mitigation Strategy

Ensure angiographic reports are included in the medical record, Train staff on documentation requirements for stent complications

Impact

Reimbursement: Incorrect reimbursement due to improper DRG assignment., Compliance: Non-compliance with ICD-10 coding guidelines., Data Quality: Inaccurate clinical data representation.

Mitigation Strategy

Use T82.855A or I97.190 as primary codes for complications.

Impact

Failure to sequence codes correctly for stent complications.

Mitigation Strategy

Implement coding audits and training for staff.

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.

Post-Stent Complication

Specialty: Cardiology

Required Elements

  • Stent history
  • Current symptoms
  • Diagnostic tests
  • Specific findings

Example Documentation

NSTEMI due to in-stent restenosis of drug-eluting stent placed 8/2024 in proximal RCA.

Examples: Poor vs. Good Documentation

Poor Documentation Example
Chest pain with prior stent history.
Good Documentation Example
NSTEMI secondary to in-stent restenosis of drug-eluting stent placed 8/2024 in proximal RCA.
Explanation
The good example specifies the cause of the chest pain and the location of the stent.
