I35. 1 - Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) insufficiency | ICD-10-CM.
Aortic insufficiency, a form of valvular heart disease, occurs when the aortic valve of the heart leaks and causes blood to flow in the wrong direction. As a result, the heart cannot pump efficiently, causing symptoms like fatigue and shortness of breath.
1: Aortic (valve) insufficiency.
Aortic insufficiency is a heart valve disease where the aortic valve no longer functions adequately to control the flow of blood from the left ventricle into the aorta. Commonly, aortic insufficiency shows no symptoms for many years. Symptoms may then occur gradually or suddenly.
Aortic stenosis, in which the valve fails to open fully, thereby obstructing blood flow out from the heart. Aortic insufficiency, also called aortic regurgitation, in which the aortic valve is incompetent and blood flows passively back to the heart in the wrong direction.

And so that's aortic regurgitation.
Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) stenosis I35. 0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I35. 0 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Aortic regurgitation may be a chronic disease process or it may occur acutely, presenting as heart failure. The most common cause of chronic aortic regurgitation used to be rheumatic heart disease, but presently it is most commonly caused by bacterial endocarditis.
Aortic regurgitation, also known as aortic valve regurgitation or aortic valve insufficiency, occurs when the aortic valve doesn't completely close and allows some blood to leak back into the heart. Aortic regurgitation can be trivial, mild, moderate or severe.

It’s already impossible for a human being to memorize the 140,000 codes in America’s ICD-10 medical coding system. In fact, it’s impossible for someone to memorize the 10,000 codes in the international version of ICD-10.
International medical organizations currently use the ICD-10 medical coding standard. It’s the tenth version of the International Classification of Disease codes. ICD-10 was created by the World Health Organization (WHO) and has 10,000+ codes available for diagnosis and treatment. The next version of ICD has already been approved for implementation.
AI could aid computer-based medical coding systems, identifying errors, enhancing patient care, and optimizing revenue cycles, among other benefits. Today, we’re highlighting some of the ways in which artificial intelligence could change medical coding in the future.
By enhancing these systems with artificial intelligence, organizations can optimize revenue cycle management, avoid coding errors, and enhance patient care.
Some medical coding specialists have just a few months of training . Others have years or decades of experience. By hiring the right medical coding specialist, healthcare organizations can optimize revenue cycle management, avoid coding issues, and enhance patient care.
That’s why medical coders rely on code books. They thumb through a book or scan a database of codes to find the most appropriate code for the services performed. Complicating things further is the fact that the same medical service can qualify for multiple codes.
Artificial intelligence will aid medical coding in the future. Today, however, healthcare organizations rely on medical coding specialists to help. Unfortunately, not all medical coding services are alike. Some medical coding specialists have just a few months of training.
CAPD and CDS physician queries are designed to be compliant with applicable law and coding guidelines framed by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). CAPD solutions are informed by a comprehensive understanding of the applicable healthcare program laws and coding guidelines from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including the following: Medicare regulations on DRG classification for hospital payment; the Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set (UHDDS) definitions for hospitals to report inpatient data elements in a standardized manner; the uniform Code Set Standards and official coding guidelines adopted by HHS under HIPAA; the American Hospital Association (AHA) Coding Clinic for ICD-10-CM and ICD-10 PCS for official coding advice; and the HHS Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) informal guidance on physician queries.
Computer-assisted physician documentation (CAPD)is a tool used to scan the chart for clinical indicators, then pose a request for clarification to a healthcare provider, in much the same way that a CDS or coder creates a query. The implications of this automated workflow are far-reaching for hospital revenue cycle professionals. With AI as part of a holistic CDI program, the most common CDI questions and concerns can be posed to a physician and resolved, at the time of documentation, thus freeing the CDSs and coders to focus on advanced practice strategies and more challenging case reviews. The analytics derived from AI in revenue cycle can yield targeted improvement plans to make human resources more agile, accurate, and efficient.
Not unexpectedly, apprehension in the CDI profession arose regarding the security and longevity of CDI professionals; how would the CDS role change? There were also concerns for the accuracy and compliance of AI, and provider acceptance of this new technology. Was this to be an Alice in Wonderland experience? It was suspected that AI could add value to highly specialized CDS reviewers, and do it in a split second – and compliantly.
Artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP), and “the engine,” machine learning, began creeping into the clinical documentation integrity (CDI) profession 10 years ago, whereas it previously was a field that depended solely on clinical documentation specialists’ (CDS) and coding professionals’ knowledge and relationship with providers. AI computer assistance accelerated the review of a plethora of notes and mountains of data.
Presenting AI-generated suggestions based on evidence within the chart, while in the moment of patient care, with the information being quickly consumable with minimal cognitive burden, is far better than retrospective work – often coming days later, and detached from the inline workflow and knowledge of the current patient condition. In addition, the ability to easily review the data points highlighted by NLP and record diagnoses agreed upon by clinical judgment in the notes – and even the problem list via a single-click interface – is a win-win for providers, the CDI team, and the parent organization. How? Faster and more accurate documentation of patients’ conditions by providers, alleviation of a significant proportion of the massive amounts of charts to be reviewed by CDI, and improved reimbursement and quality metrics for the healthcare system.
