2021 ICD-10-CM Code I99.9
Unspecified disorder of circulatory system
Valid for Submission
I99.9 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of unspecified disorder of circulatory system. The code I99.9 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The ICD-10-CM code I99.9 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like acute disease of cardiovascular system, cardiovascular abnormality due to anomalous origin of arterial duct, cardiovascular abnormality due to anomalous origin of coronary artery from pulmonary artery, cardiovascular abnormality due to anomalous origin of coronary artery orifice, cardiovascular abnormality due to bilateral arterial ducts , cardiovascular abnormality due to infective myocarditis, etc.
Unspecified diagnosis codes like I99.9 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
