ICD-10-CM I24.89
CMSSource: CMS FY 2027 ICD-10-CM dataset · Effective Oct 1, 2026 – Sep 30, 2027

I24.89 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other forms of acute ischemic heart disease. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 311. 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 46 closely related codes. Coders also document this condition as acute coronary insufficiency. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Coronary atherosclerosis and other heart disease.

For Medicare Advantage risk adjustment, I24.89 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 2027.

Medicare Risk Adjustment (HCC)Billing

I24.89 maps to a payment category in the CMS-HCC model used to risk-adjust Medicare Advantage payments. Weights are the published community factors for payment year 2027.

Questions About I24.89Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other forms of acute ischemic heart disease?

The ICD-10-CM code for other forms of acute ischemic heart disease is I24.89 (sometimes written as I2489). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Is I24.89 (Other forms of acute ischemic heart disease) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other forms of acute ischemic heart disease on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does I24.89 group to?

When other forms of acute ischemic heart disease is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 311 (angina Pectoris), which carries a relative weight of 0.6681. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Is I24.89 a CC or MCC?

CMS lists I24.89 as a CC (complication or comorbidity) for FY 2027. 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 46 closely related codes in its exclusion list.

Can I24.89 be reported with I21.A1?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at I24.8, which applies to I24.89, lists "myocardial infarction due to demand ischemia (I21.A1)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).

What HCC is I24.89?

I24.89 (other forms of acute ischemic heart disease) 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 2027. 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 I24.89 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?

Yes. When documented and reported on a Medicare Advantage encounter, I24.89 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.
