I97.89 — Other postprocedural complications and disorders of the circulatory system, not elsewhere classified
Is I97.89 billable?
Yes, but I97.89 is an unspecified code. I97.89 is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, I97.89 is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting I97.89 — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

Which MS-DRGs does I97.89 group to?
I97.89 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, I97.89 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.
