Wiki Coding Echos-systolic function

[Mnmark442]

Hi everyone,

I am now coding complete echos (93306) at my job and have a question in regards to coding systolic function.

When the estimated LVEF is greater than 70% and documented as “hyperdunamic systolic function” would I50.20 be the correct ICD 10? (Unspecified systolic heart failure).

I was also guided to use I50.20 when the percentage is under 45. Does this sound correct? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you

I believe the report has to state 'reduced' systolic function in order to be coded to a failure code. I would lean to heart disease unspecified
