I need clarification on the Hypertension with Heart Disease combination code I11._. The way I read the Hypertension w Heart Disease ICD10, it relates only to Heart Disease as in codes I50._ or I51.4-I51.9. Is there a combo code for Hypertension with ASHD? I11._ Hypertension w Heart Disease does not appear to include ASHD. I am assuming then, that I would code I10 and I25.10 for example when reporting Hypertension and ASHD. Thanks
