There is no specific ICD-10 code for diastolic dysfunction. This is because diastolic dysfunction is not a disease itself but rather a functional impairment of the heart's ability to relax and fill with blood during diastole.
Instead, ICD-10 codes are used to describe the underlying cause of the diastolic dysfunction, which can be various heart conditions like:
- Hypertension (I10-I15)
- Coronary artery disease (I20-I25)
- Heart failure (I50)
- Diabetes mellitus (E10-E14)
- Obesity (E66.9)
- Valvular heart disease (I34-I39)
- Restrictive cardiomyopathy (I42.2)
Therefore, the ICD-10 code used to bill for diastolic dysfunction will depend on the specific diagnosis of the underlying cause.
For example, if a patient has diastolic dysfunction due to hypertension, the ICD-10 code used would be I10, which represents essential (primary) hypertension.
It is crucial for healthcare providers to accurately document the underlying cause of diastolic dysfunction to ensure proper billing and medical records.
