Use additional code — inherited from I25

Report an additional code alongside I25.2 to fully describe the condition. I25.2 is sequenced first.

code to identify:
chronic total occlusion of coronary artery (I25.82)
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 I25.2, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I25.2 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 I25

The conditions below are not part of I25.2, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I25.2 and the excluded code may both be reported.

non-ischemic myocardial injury (I5A)

Code also — inherited from I20-I25

Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether I25.2 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.

the presence of hypertension (I10-I1A)
