About I44

I44 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for atrioventricular and left bundle-branch block. It belongs to block I30-I5A (other forms of heart disease) and chapter 9 (diseases of the circulatory system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 8 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: I44.0 (degree), I44.1 (degree), I44.2 (complete), I44.3 (block), I44.4 (block), I44.5 (block), I44.6 (block) and I44.7 (unspecified).

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