I am auditing a record that documentation stated " CAD with history of NSTEMI Myocardial infarction" but no other code besides I25.10 was used. I think I would need to add I25.2 for old myocardial infarction to the I25.10 diagnosis, but I am not sure since the documentation states this is a history code. Also, there is a code for NSTEMI myocardial infarction I21.4, but to me this suggests a current MI, not something specified as history.

As far as I could tell, there are no history of codes for Mycardial Infarction in ICD-10. Please assist as the coding guidelines don't outline if these codes need to be added to each other somehow.

Thanks!

Amanda
