Related ICD-10 Code Ranges

Complete code families applicable to Stenting

Z95.5Primary Range

Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft

Used to indicate the presence of a coronary stent without complications.

Stenosis of coronary artery stent

Used for complications related to coronary stents, such as in-stent restenosis.

Postprocedural cardiac dysfunction

Used when myocardial infarction occurs due to stent stenosis.

CodeDescriptionWhen to UseKey Documentation
Z95.5Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graftUse when a coronary stent is present without any complications.
  • Documentation of stent placement without complications
T82.855AStenosis of coronary artery stentUse for stenosis or restenosis within a coronary stent.
  • Imaging confirming stenosis within the stent
I97.190Postprocedural cardiac dysfunctionUse when cardiac dysfunction occurs post-stenting.
  • Clinical documentation of cardiac dysfunction post-stenting

Clinical Decision Support

Always review the patient's clinical documentation thoroughly. When in doubt, choose the more specific code and ensure documentation supports it.

Decision Criteria

clinical Criteria

  • Presence of a coronary stent without complications

Applicable To

  • Presence of coronary stent

Excludes

  • Complications of coronary stent (T82.855A)

Clinical Validation Requirements

  • Ensure no complications are documented before using this code.

Documentation & Coding Risks

Avoid these common documentation and coding issues when documenting Stenting to ensure proper reimbursement, maintain compliance, and reduce audit risk. These guidelines are particularly important when using ICD-10 code Z95.5.

Impact

Clinical: Inadequate clinical information, Regulatory: Potential non-compliance with documentation standards, Financial: Risk of claim denial

Mitigation Strategy

Use templates for procedure notes, Cross-check with imaging reports

Impact

Reimbursement: Incorrect sequencing can lead to claim denials., Compliance: Non-compliance with coding guidelines., Data Quality: Inaccurate clinical data representation.

Mitigation Strategy

Follow sequencing rules: I97.190 → T82.855A → I21.A9

Impact

Incorrect sequencing of complication codes

Mitigation Strategy

Educate staff on sequencing rules and use decision trees.

Documentation errors, coding pitfalls, and audit risks are interconnected aspects of medical coding and billing. Addressing all three areas helps ensure accurate coding, optimal reimbursement, and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ICD-10 coding for Stenting, with expert answers to help guide accurate code selection and documentation.

Documentation Templates for Stenting

Use these documentation templates to ensure complete and accurate documentation for Stenting. These templates include all required elements for proper coding and billing.

Coronary Artery Stenting

Specialty: Cardiology

Required Elements

  • Indication for stenting
  • Vessel treated
  • Type of stent used
  • Post-procedure results

Example Documentation

Indication: Unstable angina. Vessel: LAD. Stent: Drug-eluting. Result: TIMI 3 flow.

Examples: Poor vs. Good Documentation

Poor Documentation Example
Stent placed in artery.
Good Documentation Example
Stent placed in mid LAD, 90% stenosis treated with 3.5x28mm drug-eluting stent.
Explanation
The good example specifies the vessel, stenosis percentage, and stent type.
