About coding heart beat rapid
The ICD-10-CM code for heart beat rapid is R00.0 (Tachycardia, unspecified). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on R00.0.
Within R00, choose R00.0 (Tachycardia, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: bradycardia, unspecified (R00.1), Palpitations (R00.2), other abnormalities of heart beat (R00.8) and unspecified abnormalities of heart beat (R00.9).
Don't report R00.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: inappropriate sinus tachycardia, so stated (I47.11), neonatal tachycardia (P29.11) and paroxysmal tachycardia (I47.-).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
