I25.710 ICD-10-CM Code: Atherosclerosis of autologous vein coronary artery bypass graft(s) with unstable angina pectoris

Billing Status: YES. This is a valid, specific, and billable ICD-10-CM reference.

Coding at a Glance

Tabular directives
4 Excludes1 · 2 Excludes2 · 10 use-additional codes · 1 code-also instruction
Risk adjustment
CMS-HCC V28: 1 category · CMS-HCC V22 category 87 · RxHCC V08 category 188

Inpatient Payment Groups (MS-DRG)

Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.

MS-DRGs this diagnosis helps define, as principal or secondary, per the CMS ICD-10-CM/PCS MS-DRG Definitions Manual v43, Appendix B.

A diagnosis appearing in a group's logic does not by itself determine the DRG assigned to a stay; the grouper uses the full claim.

Risk Adjustment (CMS-HCC)

Payment categories this diagnosis maps to under CMS-HCC V28, payment year 2026.

  • HCC 229 — Unstable Angina and Other Acute Ischemic Heart Disease

Other models: CMS-HCC V22 HCC 87 · RxHCC V08 HCC 188

Risk scores depend on the enrollee's full accepted diagnosis set and segment; a category mapping alone does not determine payment.

Coding instructions

Official Tabular Instructional Notes: the inclusion, exclusion and sequencing notes published for I25.710 in the official ICD-10-CM tabular list, quoted as published.

Notes without a marker are published on I25.710 itself; “inherited from” names the category or block whose note applies here.

Excludes1 — Not Coded Here

Conditions generally not reported together with this code (Excludes1) -- an error unless the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).

Excludes2 — Not Included Here

Conditions not covered by this code, but which may be reported alongside it when both are present.

Code Also

Additional codes that may be required to fully describe the encounter.

  • the presence of hypertension (I10-I1A)

Source: inherited from I20-I25

Use Additional Code

Supplementary codes the tabular list directs you to add.

  • Use additional code, if applicable, to identify:
  • coronary atherosclerosis due to calcified coronary lesion (I25.84) inherited from I25.7
  • coronary atherosclerosis due to lipid rich plaque (I25.83) inherited from I25.7
  • Use additional code to identify:
  • chronic total occlusion of coronary artery (I25.82) inherited from I25
  • exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z77.22) inherited from I25
  • history of tobacco dependence (Z87.891) inherited from I25
  • occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z57.31) inherited from I25
  • tobacco dependence (F17.-) inherited from I25
  • tobacco use (Z72.0) inherited from I25

Code Overview

Atherosclerosis of autologous vein coronary artery bypass graft(s) with unstable angina pectoris is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code (I25.710).

MedCoder summary Summary composed by MedCoder from this code's official ICD-10-CM record. The tabular instructional notes themselves appear verbatim below.

Indexed Clinical Terms (1)

Clinical term phrases from the official ICD-10-CM Index to Diseases and Injuries that map to this code. These are alphabetic-index entries shown as the Index writes them — lookup phrasing, not necessarily the wording of a final diagnosis.

Official Coding Guidelines

Verbatim excerpts from the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting (CMS/NCHS) that govern this code.

Chapter 9: Diseases of the Circulatory System (I00 -I99)

b. Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease and Angina ICD-10-CM has combination codes for atherosclerotic heart disease with angina pectoris. The subcategories for these codes are I25.11, Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery with angina pectoris and I25.7, Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) and coronary artery of transplanted heart with angina pectoris.

Decision Points

The directives on this code's own record, as a pre-claim checklist.

  1. 10 Use Additional Code instructions — report the named additional code(s) when the documentation supports them. See the Use Additional Code notes
  2. 1 Code Also note — a second code may apply; the guidelines leave its sequencing to the circumstances of the encounter. See the Code Also notes
  3. 4 Excludes1 entries — codes named there are generally not reported together with this code (Guidelines I.A.12.a). See the Excludes1 notes
  4. 2 Excludes2 entries — those conditions are not part of this code and may be reported additionally when documented. See the Excludes2 notes

Checklist rows are derived from this code's own official directives; the wording of each check is MedCoder editorial. The official notes themselves are in the sections each row links to.

Verify Before Coding

  • Age-restricted: the Medicare Code Editor lists this as an adult (age 15-124) diagnosis; other ages are presumed incorrect.
  • CC as a secondary diagnosis (FY2026). Can raise the stay's MS-DRG severity tier.

From the code registry, the Medicare Code Editor, and the MS-DRG Definitions Manual. Check it against a full claim in Claim Check.

Relationships & Classification

Other codes that name I25.710 or its code family, from the CMS ICD-10-CM tabular instructional notes. Tabular-note edges are stored at the code family level that carries each note.

Referenced by 1 Excludes1 note: I20 — Angina pectoris (via I25.7.-).

These codes’ tabular lists mark this diagnosis as mutually exclusive — not reported together unless the conditions are documented as unrelated.

Referenced by 4 Excludes2 notes: I25.1 — Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery (via I25.7.-), I25.5 — Ischemic cardiomyopathy (via I25.7.-), I74 — Arterial embolism and thrombosis (via I25.-), I82 — Other venous embolism and thrombosis (via I25.-).

These codes’ tabular lists name this diagnosis as distinct — both may be reported when both are documented.

Referenced by 3 Code First instructions: I25.82 — Chronic total occlusion of coronary artery (via I25.7.-), I25.83 — Coronary atherosclerosis due to lipid rich plaque (via I25.7.-), I25.84 — Coronary atherosclerosis due to calcified coronary lesion (via I25.7.-).

Each of these codes carries a Code First note naming this condition — when that code is reported, THIS code is sequenced first, ahead of it.

MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2026)

CC — Complication or Comorbidity. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, this code raises the stay's MS-DRG severity tier — except when the principal diagnosis is one of 94 clinically related codes on its CMS exclusion list.

Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.

Named in the grouper logic of 2 MS-DRGs: DRG 302 (MDC 05), DRG 303 (MDC 05).

From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual (Appendices B and C). Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
