About coding Dextrocardia

The ICD-10-CM code for Dextrocardia is Q24.0 (Dextrocardia). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on Q24.0.

Within Q24 (other congenital malformations of heart), Q24.0 is specifically for Dextrocardia. Related codes cover Levocardia (Q24.1), cor triatriatum (Q24.2), pulmonary infundibular stenosis (Q24.3), congenital subaortic stenosis (Q24.4), malformation of coronary vessels (Q24.5), congenital heart block (Q24.6), other specified congenital malformations of heart (Q24.8) and congenital malformation of heart, unspecified (Q24.9).

Don't report Q24.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: dextrocardia with situs inversus (Q89.3), isomerism of atrial appendages (with asplenia or polysplenia) (Q20.6) and mirror-image atrial arrangement with situs inversus (Q89.3).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
