About coding ventricular beats ectopic
The ICD-10-CM code for ventricular beats ectopic is I49.3 (Ventricular premature depolarization).
Within I49 (other cardiac arrhythmias), I49.3 is specifically for ventricular premature depolarization. Related codes cover ventricular fibrillation and flutter (I49.0), atrial premature depolarization (I49.1), junctional premature depolarization (I49.2), other and unspecified premature depolarization (I49.4), sick sinus syndrome (I49.5), other specified cardiac arrhythmias (I49.8) and cardiac arrhythmia, unspecified (I49.9).
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.
