Essential facts and insights about Severe In-Stent Restenosis in Vein Grafts

The ICD-10 code for severe in-stent restenosis in a vein graft is T82.84XA, applicable for initial encounters due to stent complications.

Primary ICD-10-CM Code for severe in-stent restenosis vein graft

Stenosis of cardiac and vascular devices, implants and grafts, initial encounter
Non-billable Code

Decision Criteria

clinical Criteria

  • Angiographic evidence of in-stent restenosis

documentation Criteria

  • Provider documentation of restenosis as a complication

Applicable To

  • Stenosis of stent in vein graft

Excludes

  • Stenosis due to atherosclerosis (I70.2)

Clinical Validation Requirements

  • Angiographic confirmation of ≥70% stenosis within stent borders
  • Absence of disease progression documentation

Code-Specific Risks

  • Misclassification if cause of stenosis is not clearly documented

Coding Notes

  • Ensure documentation specifies the location and cause of the restenosis.

Ancillary Codes

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

Presence of aortocoronary bypass graft

Z95.1
Use to indicate the patient has a history of CABG.

Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery

I25.10
Use when there is concurrent native vessel disease.

Differential Codes

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

Atherosclerosis of bypass graft of extremities, unspecified

I70.20
Use when stenosis is due to atherosclerosis, not a stent complication.

Documentation & Coding Risks

Avoid these common documentation and coding issues when documenting Severe In-Stent Restenosis in Vein Grafts to ensure proper reimbursement, maintain compliance, and reduce audit risk. These guidelines are particularly important when using ICD-10 code T82.84XA.

Impact

Clinical: Misleading clinical picture of patient's condition, Regulatory: Potential audit risk for non-compliance, Financial: Incorrect reimbursement due to coding errors

Mitigation Strategy

Educate providers on documentation requirements, Implement checklist for procedure notes

Impact

Reimbursement: Incorrect DRG assignment leading to potential underpayment., Compliance: Non-compliance with ICD-10 guidelines for complication coding., Data Quality: Inaccurate clinical data affecting patient records.

Mitigation Strategy

Query provider for clarification on the cause of stenosis.

Impact

Risk of coding stenosis as atherosclerosis when it is a stent complication.

Mitigation Strategy

Ensure thorough documentation of angiographic findings and provider assessment.

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.

Documentation Templates for Severe In-Stent Restenosis in Vein Grafts

Use these documentation templates to ensure complete and accurate documentation for Severe In-Stent Restenosis in Vein Grafts. These templates include all required elements for proper coding and billing.

Cardiology Procedure Note

Specialty: Cardiology

Required Elements

  • Indication for procedure
  • Findings from angiography
  • Impression and plan

Example Documentation

INDICATION: Recurrent angina 8 months post-CABG with SVG-RCA stenting FINDINGS: Severe focal in-stent restenosis (85%) mid SVG-RCA stent IMPRESSION: T82.84XD: Symptomatic in-stent restenosis of SVG-RCA stent

Examples: Poor vs. Good Documentation

Poor Documentation Example
Graft stenosis noted
Good Documentation Example
Severe in-stent restenosis (90%) of saphenous vein graft to OM1, confirmed by OCT showing neointimal hyperplasia without lipid-rich plaque
Explanation
The good example specifies the location, severity, and cause of the stenosis, supporting accurate coding.
