When coding for controlled hypertension, which category ranges can be selected?

When coding for controlled hypertension, the appropriate category range to select is I10 - I13. This range corresponds to essential (primary) hypertension and its complications, which includes conditions related to hypertension such as hypertensive heart disease and renal disease.

The I10 code specifically denotes "Essential (primary) hypertension," while I11 through I13 captures various manifestations and complications that might accompany hypertension. This makes I10 - I13 the correct choice for accurately coding controlled hypertension, as these codes represent the full spectrum of hypertension-related diagnoses recognized within ICD-10.

The other ranges listed pertain to different conditions. For example, I14 - I16 relates to secondary hypertension and associated conditions, while I20 - I22 corresponds to ischemic heart diseases, and I30 - I32 pertains to pericardial diseases. These ranges do not apply to controlled hypertension, making the selection of I10 - I13 essential for appropriate coding in this scenario.
