About coding ectopic beat
The ICD-10-CM code for ectopic beat is I49.49 (Other premature depolarization).
Within I49.4, choose I49.49 (Other premature depolarization) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified premature depolarization (I49.40).
Code first cardiac arrhythmia complicating: abortion or ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.8) and obstetric surgery and procedures (O75.4).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
