ICD-10 Code for Ischemia
The ICD-10-CM code for ischemia is I99.8 — Other disorder of circulatory system. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for ischemia with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).

Which ischemia code should you use?
The Alphabetic Index lists 30 codes under Ischemia, ischemic. Which one applies depends on the qualifier documented in the record — the type, site, cause, or associated condition. Find the qualifier below, then verify the code in the Tabular List before using it.
