Questions About I51.89Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other ill-defined heart diseases?

The ICD-10-CM code for other ill-defined heart diseases is I51.89 (sometimes written as I5189). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Is I51.89 (Other ill-defined heart diseases) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other ill-defined heart diseases on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does I51.89 group to?

When other ill-defined heart diseases 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.

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of I51.89?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, other ill-defined heart diseases converts to ICD-9-CM 429.81 (papillary muscle dis NEC), 429.82 (hyperkinetic heart dis), and 429.89 (ill-defined hrt dis NEC). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.
