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 with certain heart conditions are assigned to a code from category 402, Hypertensive heart disease, when a causal relationship is stated or implied. Use only the code from category 402 to identify both the hypertension and the heart condition, with the exception of heart failure. If heart failure is present with the hypertensive heart disease, also assign a code to identify the specific type of heart failure (category 428).
