ICD-10-CM Codes›I00–I99›I20-I25›I25
- Billable — Valid for Submission
- CC — Complication or Comorbidity
- Chronic Condition
I25.812 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for atherosclerosis of bypass graft of coronary artery of transplanted heart without angina pectoris. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 302 through 303. 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 39 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 arteriosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft of transplanted heart. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Coronary atherosclerosis and other heart disease.
I25.812 does not risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage under the CMS-HCC V28 model. It still risk-adjusts in the RxHCC Part D (V08) category 188 for payment year 2027.
This medical diagnosis code is frequently used in Cardiology medical specialties to designate conditions such selected atherosclerosis, ischemia, and infarction.

Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a condition in which plaque builds up inside your arteries. Plaque is a sticky substance made up of cholesterol, fat, blood cells, calcium, and other substances found in the blood. Over time, plaque hardens and causes your arteries to narrow. That limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your body.

Questions About I25.812Overview
Is I25.812 a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report atherosclerosis of bypass graft of coronary artery of transplanted heart without angina pectoris on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does I25.812 group to?
When atherosclerosis of bypass graft of coronary artery of transplanted heart without angina pectoris is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 302, 303, with relative weights from 0.6610 to 1.1993 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is I25.812 a CC or MCC?
CMS lists I25.812 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 39 closely related codes in its exclusion list.
Who can I25.812 be reported for?
The Medicare Code Editor checks atherosclerosis of bypass graft of coronary artery of transplanted heart without angina pectoris against patient demographics: this code is intended for adult patients (age 15 through 124). Claims outside these limits are flagged as inconsistent.
Can I25.812 be reported with I25.76?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on I25.812 lists "atherosclerosis of bypass graft of transplanted heart with angina pectoris (I25.76)". 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).
Does I25.812 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?
Not for Medicare Advantage: I25.812 maps to no category in the CMS-HCC V28 model. It still risk-adjusts in the RxHCC Part D (V08) category 188 (Coronary Artery Disease).
