That code is I10, Essential (primary) hypertension. As in ICD-9, this code includes “high blood pressure” but does not include elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension (that would be ICD-10 code R03. 0).

Is hypertension always coded first?
Coding Guidelines The first code identifies the underlying etiology, and the second code (from category 405) identifies the type of hypertension. Sequencing of these codes is dependent on the reason for the admission or encounter.
When do you code hypertension?
Hypertension described as benign, malignant, controlled, uncontrolled, and primary would be coded here unless it belongs in another category code. A condition of elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension is classified to code R03. 0, Elevated blood pressure reading without diagnosis of hypertension.
How do you code high blood pressure?
Elevated blood-pressure reading, without diagnosis of hypertension. R03. 0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
How do you code diabetes and hypertension?
Guru. I would code it as I10 for hypertension and E11. 9 for diabetes.
How is uncontrolled hypertension coded?
uncontrolled hypertension. Code I10 for HTN is assigned when HTN is described as essential, benign or malignant as well as when HTN is not otherwise specified (NOS). hypertensive heart disease: I11. 0 (with heart failure) and I11.
How do you code congestive heart failure and hypertension?
Heart failure is assumed to be due to hypertension when coded using I11. 0, “Hypertensive heart disease with heart failure.” In ICD-10, the word “with” presumes a causal relationship between the two conditions linked by this term.
What is the ICD-10-CM code for hypertension?
ICD-Code I10 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Essential (Primary) Hypertension.
How can hypertension be diagnosed?
Tests
- Ambulatory monitoring. This 24-hour blood pressure monitoring test is used to confirm if you have high blood pressure.
- Lab tests. Your doctor may recommend a urine test (urinalysis) and blood tests, including a cholesterol test.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG).
- Echocardiogram.
When do I code I11 9?
I11. 9 is for hypertensive cardiovascular disease without heart failure. If my provider states that this is, in parentheses, “Complications due to hypertension,” and the hypertension is primary, do I code both I10 and I11.
What is prehypertension?
Prehypertension is defined as a systolic pressure from 120–139 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or a diastolic pressure from 80–89 mm Hg. Because blood pressure changes often, your health care provider will check it on several different days before deciding whether your blood pressure is too high.
What is DX code e785?
ICD-9 Code Transition: 272.4 Code E78. 5 is the diagnosis code used for Hyperlipidemia, Unspecified, a disorder of lipoprotein metabolism other lipidemias. It is a condition with excess lipids in the blood.
When do you use E11 59?
E11. 59 is the code for Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other circulatory complications, so it makes sense.
Can you code E11 21 and E11 22 together?
The incorrect portion of the response came as an aside at the end, where it was stated that “it would be redundant to assign codes for both diabetic nephropathy (E11. 21) and diabetic chronic kidney disease (E11. 22), as diabetic chronic kidney disease is a more specific condition.” It is true you wouldn’t code both.
