I24 — Other acute ischemic heart diseases
Is I24 billable?
No — I24 is a non-billable header code. I24 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 5 billable codes beneath I24.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with I24 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of I24, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I24 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- non-ischemic myocardial injury (I5A)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 9
The conditions below are not part of I24, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I24 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.-)
Code also — inherited from I20-I25
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether I24 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- the presence of hypertension (I10-I1A)

How long has I24 existed?

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