All healthcare professionals, including cardiologists, administrators, and coding specialists, should be aware of the 2025 cardiology updates.
Here are some of the changes for 2025 in Cardiology:
- New ICD-11 Codes for 2025
- New Category III CPT codes
- HCPCS Level II codes
- Key Changes in Cardiovascular Coding for 2025
1. ICD 11 Codes
| ICD Code | Condition |
|---|---|
XA0F62 | Left main coronary artery |
BD10 | Congestive heart failure |
BA41 | Acute myocardial infarction |
XS8U | Multiple vessel disease |
2. New Category III CPT codes
In 2025, there haven’t been any new Category I CPT Codes introduced. However, there has been a release of several new CPT III Codes, which focus on the latest developments in advanced cardiac care and remote monitoring technologies.

0902T | Algorithmic Analysis Derived QTc Interval Using Mobile ECG Device |
0903T-0905T | Algorithmically Generated 12-Lead ECG Procedures |
0913T-0914T | Transcatheter Therapeutic Drug Delivery by Intracoronary Drug-Delivery Balloon Procedure |
0915T-0931T | Cardiac Contractility Modulation-Defibrillation System Procedures |
0932T-0934T | Augmentative Analysis of ECG to Detect Heart Failure |
0937T-0940T | Continuous External Electrocardiographic Recording Procedures |
3. HCPCS Level II codes
For 2025, CMS has introduced new set of codes that are relevant to cardiovascular care.
| HCPCS Level II codes | Description |
|---|---|
G0446 | Annual, Face-to-Face Intensive Behavioral Therapy for Cardiovascular Disease |
G0537-G0538 | Administration of a Standardized, Evidence-Based ASCVD Risk Assessment |
G0559 | Post-Operative Follow-Up Visit Complexity |
4. Key Changes in Cardiovascular Coding for 2025
The coding for coronary artery disease has been updated to better reflect the growing use of non-invasive tests, such as coronary CT angiography. New codes have been introduced to help document the findings from these advanced imaging techniques more accurately.
Hypertension Codes
- I10: Essential (primary) hypertension
- I15: Secondary hypertension
- I16: Hypertensive crisis
- I11: Hypertensive heart disease
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
- I25.10: Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris
- I25.110: Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery with unstable angina pectoris
- I25.2: Old myocardial infarction
- I25.5: Ischemic cardiomyopathy
- I25.6: Silent myocardial ischemia
- I25.700: Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft without angina pectoris
- I25.710: Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft with unstable angina
- I25.810: Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft with angina pectoris
Heart Failure Staging
- I50.9: Heart failure, unspecified
- I50.1: Left ventricular failure
- I50.2: Systolic (congestive) heart failure
- I50.3: Diastolic (congestive) heart failure
