Inclusion terms

Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

Atheroma of cerebral and precerebral arteries

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above I67.2

These are not written on I67.2, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing I67.2 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on I67 — Other cerebrovascular diseases

Occlusion and stenosis of cerebral artery causing cerebral infarction (I63.3-I63.5-)
Occlusion and stenosis of precerebral artery causing cerebral infarction (I63.2-)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above I67.2

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of I67.2, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on I67 — Other cerebrovascular diseases

sequelae of the listed conditions (I69.8)

Risk adjustment

I67.2 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

I67.2 is named in 23 Medicare coverage policies — 23 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
