Primary ICD-10-CM Codes

Ventricular tachycardia

Non-Billable
I47.2
Non-Billable

Diagnostic Criteria

clinical:
  • • ECG findings confirm ventricular origin with wide QRS complex.
documentation:
  • • Specify 'paroxysmal' and duration of VT in documentation.

Applicable To

  • • Sustained ventricular tachycardia
  • • Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia
  • • Torsades de pointes

Important Notes

  • • Ensure documentation specifies ventricular origin and duration to avoid unspecified codes.

Unspecified ventricular tachycardia

Billable Code
I47.20
Billable

Important Notes

  • • Avoid using unless absolutely necessary due to lack of specificity.

Torsades de pointes

Billable Code
I47.21
Billable

Applicable To

  • • Torsades de pointes with ECG evidence

Important Notes

  • • Ensure QT interval prolongation is documented.

Other ventricular tachycardia

Billable Code
I47.29
Billable

Applicable To

  • • Catecholaminergic polymorphic VT

Important Notes

  • • Ensure specific subtype is documented.
Ancillary Codes

Additional codes that may be used with this diagnosis

R00.0

Tachycardia, unspecified

Use when the origin of tachycardia is not confirmed.

Z86.79

Personal history of other diseases of the circulatory system
