What ICD-10 codes are used for mitral valve repair?

There are two ICD-10 codes healthcare providers can use to indicate the procedure, and that is ICD-10-PCS procedure code 02QG0ZZ: Repair mitral valve, open approach, and 02QG3ZZ: Repair mitral valve, percutaneous approach

As for ICD-10-CM codes, no specific codes are assigned to such a description. However, there are codes related to it which you may use, such as:

Z95.2 - Presence of prosthetic heart valve

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have a prosthetic heart valve. Repairing a mitral valve may require using a prosthetic or some other material that can help repair/reshape the valve.

Z95.3 - Presence of xenogenic heart valve

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have a xenogenic heart valve. This xenogenic heart valve's presence may be due to mitral valve repair, so this can be used.

Z98.890 - Other specified postprocedural states

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient who has a post-procedural state. The state of having a repaired mitral valve applies.

Which mitral valve ICD codes are billable?

All the aforementioned codes are valid and billable in general. However, the ICD-10-CM codes should be used as principal diagnoses.

Clinical information

Mitral valve repair is a surgical procedure to fix the mitral valve in the heart. The mitral valve is one of four heart valves (the others are the aortic valve, tricuspid valve, and pulmonary valve) that control blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle.
This procedure is typically recommended when the mitral valve is leaking (regurgitation) or narrowed (mitral stenosis), causing disruptions in normal blood flow.
Mitral valve repair is often favored over valve replacement, as it retains the patient's valve tissue and eliminates the need for long-term blood thinners.
The procedure can be performed through traditional open heart surgery or minimally invasive surgery involving smaller incisions.
Success rates for mitral valve repair are high, with most patients experiencing significant improvement in symptoms and quality of life.
Potential risks of mitral valve repair include bleeding, infection, irregular heart rhythms, stroke, and, in rare cases, the need for a second surgery.
Postoperative care involves monitoring heart function, administering medication to manage pain and prevent blood clots, and providing physical therapy for recovery.
As with any surgical procedure, the benefits and risks should be thoroughly discussed with a healthcare provider before a decision is made.

Commonly asked questions

There are no specific ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes that indicate a mitral valve repair. Instead, mitral valve conditions like regurgitation or stenosis are coded based on the underlying diagnosis, while the procedure (repair) is captured separately using ICD-10-PCS or CPT codes.

Yes. Like any procedure involving an important body part, the patient can die. Most cases of mitral valve repair are successful, but the possibility of failure and death is still there.

Mitral valve repair can lead to certain complications should things go awry, including bleeding, blood clots, heart attacks, and infections.
