About coding Equivalent angina

The ICD-10-CM code for Equivalent angina is I20.89 (Other forms of angina pectoris).

Within I20.8, choose I20.89 (Other forms of angina pectoris) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: angina pectoris with coronary microvascular dysfunction (I20.81).

Use an additional code to identify: exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z77.22), history of tobacco dependence (Z87.891), occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z57.31), tobacco dependence (F17.-) and tobacco use (Z72.0).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
