What Medicare edits apply to I32?
The Medicare Code Editor screens inpatient claims before they are grouped. These edits name I32 directly.
This code describes a manifestation of an underlying disease. The underlying condition must be sequenced before it, so it can never be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.
Which MS-DRGs does I32 group to?
I32 sits in MDC 05 and helps define the logic of 3 MS-DRGs (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.
- 314Other Circulatory System Diagnoses with MCCmedical
- 315Other Circulatory System Diagnoses with CCmedical
- 316Other Circulatory System Diagnoses without CC/MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, I32 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
How is I32 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to I32. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Pericarditis › uremic (with decompensation) (with effusion)
Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with I32 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 I32. I32 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.
- underlying disease
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 9
The conditions below are not part of I32, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I32 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.-)
How long has I32 existed?
I32 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.
