Blood pressure can vary during the day. Therefore, one elevated blood pressure reading cannot be diagnosed as hypertension. ICD-9-CM code 796.2 is assigned for elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension and for transient or borderline hypertension. Once hypertension is established by a physician, a code from category 401 is assigned, with a fourth digit required: 0 for malignant, 1 for benign, and 9 for unspecified.
Hypertension is classified as either primary (essential) hypertension or secondary hypertension. About 90â95% of cases are categorized as primary hypertension, defined as high blood pressure with no obvious underlying cause.ormal blood pressure at rest is within the range of 100â140 millimeters mercury (mmHg) systolic and 60â90 mmHg diastolic. Hypertension is present if the blood pressure is persistently at or above 140/90 mmHg for most adults; different numbers apply to children.
