Clinical InformationClinical

  • Endarteritis

    inflammation of the inner endothelial lining (tunica intima) of an artery.

  • Tunica Intima

    the innermost layer of an artery or vein, made up of one layer of endothelial cells and supported by an internal elastic lamina.

  • Pulmonary Vein Stenosis

    obstruction of the pulmonary vein in one or multiple sites. the obstruction is the result of wall thickening and narrowing of the lumen of the vein.

  • Endarteritis

    inflammation of the arterial intima.

Questions About I28.8Overview

Is I28.8 (Other diseases of pulmonary vessels) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other diseases of pulmonary vessels on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

What MS-DRG does I28.8 group to?

When other diseases of pulmonary vessels 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.

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of I28.8?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, other diseases of pulmonary vessels converts to ICD-9-CM 417.8 (pulmon circulat dis NEC). The mapping is a direct match.
