About I37.9

I37.9 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for nonrheumatic pulmonary valve disorder, unspecified. It belongs to category I37 (nonrheumatic pulmonary valve disorders), block I30-I5A (other forms of heart disease) and chapter 9 (diseases of the circulatory system). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within I37, choose I37.9 (Nonrheumatic pulmonary valve disorder, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: nonrheumatic pulmonary valve stenosis (I37.0), nonrheumatic pulmonary valve insufficiency (I37.1), nonrheumatic pulmonary valve stenosis with insufficiency (I37.2) and other nonrheumatic pulmonary valve disorders (I37.8).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 306 (Cardiac Congenital and Valvular Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.546) and DRG 307 (Cardiac Congenital and Valvular Disorders without MCC, relative weight 0.9148), in MDC 05 (Diseases and Disorders of the Circulatory System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 424.3 (pulmonary valve disorders).
