Cardiac Arrhythmia ICD-10-CM Codes

The ICD-10-CM codes provide a standardized system for classifying and documenting cardiac arrhythmias. They help healthcare providers diagnose and treat patients accurately, communicate effectively, and ensure appropriate billing and reimbursement.

The selection of ICD-10-CM codes for cardiac arrhythmias is based on the specific type, duration, and underlying cause of the arrhythmia. Healthcare professionals use clinical documentation, medical history, diagnostic tests, and professional judgment to assign the most accurate and specific code.

Yes, it is possible to use multiple codes when a patient has multiple cardiac arrhythmias. Each arrhythmia should be accurately documented, and the corresponding codes should be assigned to reflect the different types of manifestations present.
