Medical record documentation must support the specific diagnosis corresponding to one of the listed ICD-10-CM codes and explicitly state that IABP is not expected to be sufficient.
Clinical documentation should indicate the life-threatening nature (e.g., cardiogenic shock, multi-organ failure, or intra/postoperative circulatory collapse) and any supporting hemodynamic or organ-failure data.
Medical record must document diagnosis supporting one of the three life‑threatening situations and cite the relevant ICD‑10‑CM code(s).
