I23.7 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for postinfarction angina. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026) and groups to MS-DRG 314 through 316. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 115 closely related codes. The code is restricted by the Medicare Code Editor to adult patients (age 15 through 124). Coders also document this condition as post infarct angina. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Complications of acute myocardial infarction.
For Medicare Advantage risk adjustment, I23.7 maps to CMS-HCC Category 229 (Unstable Angina and Other Acute Ischemic Heart Disease) under the V28 model, adding a risk factor of about 0.240 for a community, non-dual, aged beneficiary in payment year 2026.
This medical diagnosis code is frequently used in Cardiology medical specialties to designate conditions such selected atherosclerosis, ischemia, and infarction.

Angina
Angina is chest pain or discomfort you feel when there is not enough blood flow to your heart muscle. Your heart muscle needs the oxygen that the blood carries. Angina may feel like pressure or a squeezing pain in your chest. It may feel like indigestion. You may also feel pain in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back.

Questions About I23.7Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for postinfarction angina?
The ICD-10-CM code for postinfarction angina is I23.7 (sometimes written as I237). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
Is I23.7 a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report postinfarction angina on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
What MS-DRG does I23.7 group to?
When postinfarction angina is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 314, 315, 316, with relative weights from 0.6821 to 2.0852 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is I23.7 a CC or MCC?
CMS lists I23.7 as a CC (complication or comorbidity) for FY 2026. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it moves the inpatient stay to a higher-weighted DRG within its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 115 closely related codes in its exclusion list.
Who can I23.7 be reported for?
The Medicare Code Editor checks postinfarction angina against patient demographics: this code is intended for adult patients (age 15 through 124). Claims outside these limits are flagged as inconsistent.
What HCC is I23.7?
I23.7 (postinfarction angina) maps to CMS-HCC Category 229 (Unstable Angina and Other Acute Ischemic Heart Disease), commonly written as HCC 229, in the CMS-HCC V28 model used for Medicare Advantage risk adjustment in payment year 2026. It mapped to HCC 87 under the retired V24 model. It also maps in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22), ESRD (V21), and ESRD (V24) models. In the Part D prescription drug model it maps to RxHCC 188.
Does I23.7 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?
Yes. When documented and reported on a Medicare Advantage encounter, I23.7 adds a risk adjustment factor of about 0.240 to the beneficiary's RAF score for a community, non-dual, aged enrollee (published V28 weights range from 0.240 to 0.458 depending on the payment segment). A more severe related category (HCC 228) supersedes it when both are reported. See the full factor table on the HCC 229 category page.
