About ICD-10-CM Code I70 (Atherosclerosis)
ICD-10-CM code I70 is a billable or specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2025 edition of ICD-10-CM I70 became effective on October 1, 2024.
This page provides detailed information about I70 - Atherosclerosis. It includes common terminology, coding guidelines such as "Includes," "Excludes1," and "Excludes2" notes, and information on required 7th characters. Utilizing this information correctly is essential for accurate medical coding and claims submission for conditions like Atherosclerosis.
