Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with I25.82 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Code first
The underlying condition below must be sequenced before I25.82. I25.82 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to I25.82.
- Complete occlusion of coronary artery
- Total occlusion of coronary artery
Use additional code — inherited from I25
Report an additional code alongside I25.82 to fully describe the condition. I25.82 is sequenced first.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 9
The conditions below are not part of I25.82, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I25.82 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 I25.82, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I25.82 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 I25.82 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- the presence of hypertension (I10-I1A)
How long has I25.82 existed?
I25.82 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.
