I25.119 — Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery with unspecified angina pectoris
I25.119 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery with unspecified angina pectoris. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- unspecified angina pectoris without atherosclerotic heart disease (I20.9)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Atherosclerotic heart disease with angina NOS
- Atherosclerotic heart disease with ischemic chest pain
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above I25.119
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of I25.119, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Written on I25.1 — Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery
Written on I25 — Chronic ischemic heart disease
- non-ischemic myocardial injury (I5A)
Risk adjustment
I25.119 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Medicare coverage
I25.119 is named in 40 Medicare coverage policies — 40 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
