About I72.8
I72.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for aneurysm of other specified arteries. It belongs to category I72 (other aneurysm), block I70-I79 (diseases of arteries, arterioles and capillaries) and chapter 9 (diseases of the circulatory system). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Within I72, choose I72.8 (other specified arteries) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: carotid artery (I72.0), artery of upper extremity (I72.1), renal artery (I72.2), iliac artery (I72.3), artery of lower extremity (I72.4), other precerebral arteries (I72.5), vertebral artery (I72.6) and unspecified site (I72.9).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 299 (Peripheral Vascular Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.5842), DRG 300 (Peripheral Vascular Disorders with CC, relative weight 1.0464) and DRG 301 (Peripheral Vascular Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7133), in MDC 05 (Diseases and Disorders of the Circulatory System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 442.82 (aneurysm of subclavian artery), 442.83 (aneurysm of splenic artery) and 442.89 (aneurysm of other specified artery).

- No. I72.8 is neither a CC nor an MCC under MS-DRG v44.0.
What DRG does I72.8 group to?
- I72.8 is used in the MS-DRG v44.0 logic for MS-DRG 299 (Peripheral Vascular Disorders with MCC), MS-DRG 300 (Peripheral Vascular Disorders with CC) and MS-DRG 301 (Peripheral Vascular Disorders without CC/MCC). Which one applies depends on whether it is the principal diagnosis and on the rest of the claim.
What is the ICD-9 code for I72.8?
