About coding coronary artery atheroma
The ICD-10-CM code for coronary artery atheroma is I25.10 (Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris).
Within I25.1, choose I25.10 (without angina pectoris) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: with angina pectoris (I25.11).
Use an additional 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.-) and 1 more.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
