About coding Nodal rhythm
The ICD-10-CM code for Nodal rhythm is I49.89 (Other specified cardiac arrhythmias not elsewhere classified).
Within I49.8 (other specified cardiac arrhythmias), I49.89 is specifically for other specified cardiac arrhythmias not elsewhere classified. Related codes cover Brugada syndrome (I49.81) and ventricular bigeminy (I49.82).
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.
