About R01

R01 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for cardiac murmurs and other cardiac sounds. It belongs to block R00-R09 (symptoms and signs involving the circulatory and respiratory systems) and chapter 18 (symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: R01.0 (murmurs), R01.1 (unspecified) and R01.2 (sounds).

Don't report R01 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: cardiac murmurs and sounds originating in the perinatal period (P29.8).

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