What TAVR ICD-10 codes can I use?
If you’re looking for TAVR ICD codes, the main one you’re looking for is Z95.2 - Presence of prosthetic heart valve.
This ICD-10 code is meant for patients confirmed to have a prosthetic heart valve, so you can use this after conducting a successful placement or replacement of a Transcatheter Aortic Heart Valve. It can also be used if your patient has a history of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.
This isn’t the only code for it, though! The other ICD-10 codes are meant for complications related to Aortic Valve Replacements, so if you’re handling patients dealing with such complications, here are examples of the codes you can use:
- T82.03XA - Leakage of heart valve prosthesis, initial encounter
This is meant to be used on a patient whose Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement is leaking.
- T82.519A - Breakdown (mechanical) of unspecified cardiac and vascular devices and implants, initial encounter
This ICD-10 code is for a patient whose mechanical Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement has broken down.
- T82.6XXA - Infection and inflammatory reaction due to cardiac valve prosthesis, initial encounter
This ICD-10 code is meant for a patient with an infection and/or an inflammatory reaction due to a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.
- T82.817A - Embolism due to cardiac prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, initial encounter
This ICD-10 code is meant for a patient confirmed to have an embolism in their Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement. An embolism is caused by a blood clot that traveled from somewhere (likely the legs), causing a blockage in the TAVR.
- T82.867A - Thrombosis due to cardiac prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, initial encounter
This ICD-10 code is meant for patients with confirmed thrombosis in their Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement. Thrombosis is the formation of blood clots.
