About I49.82

I49.82 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for ventricular bigeminy. It belongs to category I49 (other cardiac arrhythmias), 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 I49.8 (other specified cardiac arrhythmias), I49.82 is specifically for ventricular bigeminy. Related codes cover Brugada syndrome (I49.81) and not elsewhere classified (I49.89).

Code first cardiac arrhythmia complicating: abortion or ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.8) and obstetric surgery and procedures (O75.4).

Use an additional code, if applicable, for associated symptoms such as: dizziness (R42) and syncope (R55).

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 308 (Cardiac Arrhythmia and Conduction Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.1806), DRG 309 (Cardiac Arrhythmia and Conduction Disorders with CC, relative weight 0.7316) and DRG 310 (Cardiac Arrhythmia and Conduction Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.568), 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 was added in FY2027, effective October 1, 2026.
