Is I12.0 billable?

Yes — I12.0 is billable for FY2027. I12.0 is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code at the highest level of specificity in its branch. I12.0 may be submitted for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Which MS-DRGs does I12.0 group to?

I12.0 sits in MDC Pre and helps define the logic of 1 MS-DRG (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.

As a secondary diagnosis, I12.0 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.

How is I12.0 listed in the Alphabetic Index?

These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to I12.0. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.

  • Disease, diseasedrenalend-stagedue to hypertension

Use additional code

Report an additional code alongside I12.0 to fully describe the condition. I12.0 is sequenced first.

  • code to identify the stage of chronic kidney disease (N18.5, N18.6)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from I10-I1A

The conditions below can never be reported together with I12.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • neonatal hypertension (P29.2)
  • primary pulmonary hypertension (I27.0)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from I12

The conditions below can never be reported together with I12.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • hypertension due to kidney disease (I15.0, I15.1)
  • renovascular hypertension (I15.0)
  • secondary hypertension (I15.-)

Use additional code — inherited from I10-I1A

Report an additional code alongside I12.0 to fully describe the condition. I12.0 is sequenced first.

  • code to identify:
  • exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z77.22)
  • history of tobacco dependence (Z87.891)
  • occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z57.31)
  • tobacco dependence (F17.-)
  • tobacco use (Z72.0)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 9

The conditions below are not part of I12.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I12.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
  • congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
  • endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
  • injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
  • neoplasms (C00-D49)
  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)
  • systemic connective tissue disorders (M30-M36)
  • transient cerebral ischemic attacks and related syndromes (G45.-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from I10-I1A

The conditions below are not part of I12.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I12.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • hypertensive disease complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O10-O11, O13-O16)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from I12

The conditions below are not part of I12.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I12.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • acute kidney failure (N17.-)

How long has I12.0 existed?

I12.0 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.

Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
