Key Information: ICD-10 Coding for Atrial Fibrillation with Rapid Ventricular Response

Essential facts and insights about ICD-10 Coding for Atrial Fibrillation with Rapid Ventricular Response

Use ICD-10 code I48.0 for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, ensuring proper documentation in clinical notes.

Primary ICD-10-CM Codes

Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Billable Code
I48.0
Billable

Diagnostic Criteria

  • • Episodes are self-terminating and last less than 7 days.

Applicable To

  • • Paroxysmal AFib with RVR

Important Notes

  • • Ensure documentation specifies 'paroxysmal' to avoid using unspecified codes.

Persistent atrial fibrillation

Billable Code
I48.11
Billable

Diagnostic Criteria

  • • Use for AFib episodes lasting more than 7 days requiring intervention.

Applicable To

  • • Persistent AFib with RVR

Important Notes

  • • Persistent AFib should be clearly documented to avoid unspecified coding.

Other persistent atrial fibrillation

Billable Code
I48.19
Billable

Diagnostic Criteria

  • • Use when documentation specifies 'chronic persistent' AFib.

Applicable To

  • • Chronic persistent AFib with RVR

Important Notes

  • • Ensure 'chronic persistent' is documented to use this code.

Chronic atrial fibrillation

Billable Code
I48.20
Billable

Diagnostic Criteria

  • • Use when AFib is documented as 'chronic' without further specification.

Applicable To

  • • Chronic AFib with RVR

Important Notes

  • • Avoid using if more specific documentation is available.

Unspecified atrial fibrillation

Billable Code
I48.91
Billable

Diagnostic Criteria

  • • Use when AFib type is not documented.

Applicable To

  • • Unspecified AFib with RVR

Important Notes

  • • Query for specificity to avoid using this code.
Ancillary Codes

Additional codes that may be used with this diagnosis

Z79.01

Long term (current) use of anticoagulants

Use when patient is on anticoagulant therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response coded in ICD-10?

Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response is coded using the specific AFib type, such as I48.0 for paroxysmal or I48.11 for persistent, as RVR is part of the clinical picture.

What is the ICD-10 code for AFib with RVR?

The ICD-10 code for AFib with RVR depends on the type of AFib: I48.0 for paroxysmal, I48.11 for persistent, etc. RVR is not coded separately.
