An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a device that detects any life-threatening, rapid heartbeat. This abnormal heartbeat is called an arrhythmia. If it occurs, the ICD quickly sends an electrical shock to the heart. The shock changes the rhythm back to normal. This is called defibrillation.
Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) is one of the most important entities for arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Previous studies suggest a lower benefit of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy in patients with NICM as compared to ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). Nevertheless, …

Hi Good evening I am working in HCC we use ICD 10 code for nonischemic cardiomyopathy is I42. 9.
Critical illness myopathy is a disease of limb and respiratory muscles, and it is observed during treatment in the intensive care unit. This sometimes may accompany critical illness polyneuropathy.
A definite diagnosis of critical illness myopathy requires that the following criteria be met: (1) The critically ill patient develops limb weakness or difficulty weaning, after non-neuromuscular causes such as heart and lung diseases have been excluded; (2) compound muscle action potential amplitudes are less than 80% ...

Coding for Cardiomyopathy in ICD-10-CM I42. 9, Cardiomyopathy, unspecified (includes cardiomyopathy [primary] [secondary] NOS).
Hence, most of the coder are using unspecified code I42. 9, for nonischemic cardiomyopathy.
When a patient presents with CHF and cardiomyopathy, treatment is typically focused on the CHF management. Therefore, sequence code 428.0 as the principal diagnosis, with code 425.4 added as a secondary diagnosis (AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM, 1990, second quarter, page 19).
A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the cardiac muscle itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (dilated cardiomyopathy; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; restrictive cardiomyopathy) or their etiological/pathological factors (cardiomyopathy, alcoholic; endocardial fibroelastosis).
A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( I42) and the excluded code together.
