Buddy Documentation Tip

Documentation of coronary artery disease involving native vessels
Description of the specific angina presentation that does not fit unstable, vasospastic, or refractory categories
Clinical characteristics of the anginal episodes
Diagnostic evidence supporting ischemia

Audit Caution

HCC Buddy guidance
Using I25.119 (unspecified) when the angina type is documented but simply does not fit standard categories
Confusing 'other forms' with 'unspecified' — I25.118 means a type is identified but atypical, while I25.119 means the type is unknown
Not documenting the specific anginal presentation to support the 'other forms' designation
Missing unstable angina documentation that would warrant the higher-value I25.110 code

Common Mistakes

HCC Buddy guidance
I25.110 — Same condition with unstable angina: for angina with crescendo pattern or new onset at rest
I25.111 — Same condition with documented spasm: for confirmed vasospastic angina
I25.112 — Same condition with refractory angina: for angina failing maximal medical therapy
I25.119 — Same condition with unspecified angina: when the angina type cannot be determined at all

Is I25.118 an HCC code?

I25.118 has no mapping under the current CMS-HCC V28 community payment model. I25.118 has a separate mapping under the CMS-HCC ESRD model (HCC 88 (Angina Pectoris)) and the Part D RxHCC model (HCC 188 (Coronary Artery Disease)); the applicable result needs member context.

What This Code Means

I25.118 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery with other forms of angina pectoris. Narrowing of heart arteries causing chest pain with characteristics that don't fit the standard angina patterns. I25.118 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the circulatory system (i00-i99), within the section covering ischemic heart diseases (i20-i25).

I25.118 has no mapping under the current CMS-HCC V28 community payment model. I25.118 has a separate mapping under the CMS-HCC ESRD model (HCC 88 (Angina Pectoris)) and the Part D RxHCC model (HCC 188 (Coronary Artery Disease)); the applicable result needs member context. Do not assign V28 risk adjustment value from this page; verify the applicable model and payment year before using this code for risk adjustment.

Native-artery CAD with other forms of angina pectoris, exertional angina, stable angina, or any angina form not captured by I25.110 (unstable) or I25.111 (spasm). Provider narrative should name the angina pattern.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for I25.118 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Native-artery CAD with other forms of angina pectoris, exertional angina, stable angina, or any angina form not captured by I25.110 (unstable) or I25.111 (spasm). Provider narrative should name the angina pattern.
  • Do not report I25.118 and a separate I20.x code together, the combination code bundles the angina component. Also prefer I25.110 when the angina is characterized as unstable.
  • Among the I25.11x angina codes only I25.110 (unstable angina) maps, to HCC 229; 'other forms of angina' carries no V28 coefficient.

Clinical Significance

This code captures atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary arteries with angina presentations that do not fit the standard classifications of unstable, vasospastic, or refractory angina. This may include atypical angina equivalents such as exertional dyspnea, nocturnal angina, or other variant presentations. Proper capture ensures that the anginal component of the disease is coded alongside the underlying coronary artery disease.

Documentation Requirements

  • Documentation of coronary artery disease involving native vessels
  • Description of the specific angina presentation that does not fit unstable, vasospastic, or refractory categories
  • Clinical characteristics of the anginal episodes
  • Diagnostic evidence supporting ischemia
  • Treatment plan

Excludes 1, Do NOT code together

  • other forms of angina pectoris without atherosclerotic heart disease (I20.8-)

Commonly Confused Codes

  • I25.110: Same condition with unstable angina: for angina with crescendo pattern or new onset at rest
  • I25.111: Same condition with documented spasm: for confirmed vasospastic angina
  • I25.112: Same condition with refractory angina: for angina failing maximal medical therapy
  • I25.119: Same condition with unspecified angina: when the angina type cannot be determined at all
