I50.2

Systolic (congestive) heart failure

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 4 more specific codes instead:

  • I50.20 Unspecified systolic (congestive) heart failure
  • I50.21 Acute systolic (congestive) heart failure
  • I50.22 Chronic systolic (congestive) heart failure
  • I50.23 Acute on chronic systolic (congestive) heart failure

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

  1. FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Systolic (congestive) heart failure
