Hi guest!
Great question. The ICD diagnosis code(s) you select for the patient will directly describe that's patient's condition!
Here are some options for the decay aspect:
521.00 - Dental caries, unspecified 521.01 - Dental caries limited to enamel 521.02 - Dental caries extending into dentine 521.03 - Dental caries extending into pulp 521.04 - Arrested dental caries 521.05 - Odontoclasia 521.06 - Dental caries pit and fissure 521.07 - Dental caries of smooth surface 521.08 - Dental caries of root surface 521.09 - Other dental caries
There are a ton of codes available to describe different types of cardiovascular disease as well, here is the unspecified code:
429.2 - Cardiovascular disease, unspecified
It would be best to reply on the physician's report for the proper ICD code to use for the cardiovascular issues.
Hope this helps, please let us know if you have any further questions!

We have a patient who will be having heart surgery and needed to be cleared for it. She had a few teeth that needed to be removed due to decay and she would like us to bill her medical insurance because she needed to have them removed to be cleared for her heart surgery. What ICD code should I be using?
