2015 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 440.9

Generalized and unspecified atherosclerosis

2015
Billable Thru Sept 30/2015
Non-Billable On/After Oct 1/2015
Adult Only Dx (15-124 years)

ICD-9-CM 440.9 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 440.9 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).

Convert to ICD-10-CM: 440.9 converts approximately to:

2015/16 ICD-10-CM I70.90 Unspecified atherosclerosis
Or:
2015/16 ICD-10-CM I70.91 Generalized atherosclerosis

Approximate Synonyms

Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis artery
Atherosclerosis of artery
Atherosclerosis, generalized
Generalized atherosclerosis

Clinical Information

Thickening and loss of elasticity of arterial walls; atherosclerosis is the most common form of arteriosclerosis and involves lipid deposition and thickening of the intimal cell layers within arteries; additional forms of arteriosclerosis involve calcification of the media of muscular arteries (monkeberg medial calcific sclerosis) and thickening of the walls of small arteries or arterioles due to cell proliferation or hyaline deposition (arteriolosclerosis)

440.9 Excludes

arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease [ASCVD] (429.2)

Applies To

Arteriosclerotic vascular disease NOS

ICD-9-CM Coding Information

440.9 is only applicable to adult patients aged 15 - 124 years inclusive.
