Tricuspid valve regurgitation is a type of heart valve disease in which the valve between the two right heart chambers (right ventricle and right atrium) doesn't close properly. As a result, blood leaks backward into the upper right chamber (right atrium).
Symptoms include high blood pressure, swelling in your abdomen or limbs, and abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). Sometimes connected to tricuspid regurgitation is atrial fibrillation, an abnormal rhythm in one or both of the upper chambers of your heart.
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can be broadly classified as primary or secondary. Primary (or organic) TR results from an organic lesion of the tricuspid valve itself, whereas secondary (or functional) TR is caused by left heart failure or pulmonary hypertension without an intrinsic abnormality of the tricuspid valve.
Echocardiogram. This is the main test used to diagnose tricuspid valve regurgitation. An echocardiogram uses sound waves to create detailed images of the beating heart. The test can show the structure of the heart and heart valves, including the tricuspid valve, and the flow of blood through the heart areas.
Nonrheumatic tricuspid (valve) insufficiency I36. 1 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 I36. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Stage A: At Risk of TR. Stage B: Progressive TR. Stage C: Asymptomatic with severe TR. Stage D: Symptomatic with severe TR.
Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) is characterized by structurally normal leaflets and is due to the deformation of the valvulo-ventricular complex. While mild FTR is frequent and usually benign, patients with severe FTR may develop progressive ventricular dysfunction and incur increased mortality.
Mild tricuspid regurgitation is common. It does not cause symptoms or have an effect on the heart function. As with anyone, it's important to treat usual cardiac risk factors and prevent the development of heart failure. In general, no specific follow up is required for mild tricuspid regurgitation.
A semiquantitative way to assess TR simply requires measuring the width of the color jet at its narrowest point as it passes through the VC. The 2017 American Society of Echocardiography valve regurgitation guideline (1) suggests that a VC width <3. mm indicates mild TR, whereas a VC width ≥7 mm indicates severe TR.
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is the most common lesion of the tricuspid valve (TV). Mild TR is common and usually is benign. However, moderate or severe TR can lead to irreversible myocardial damage and adverse outcomes. Despite these findings, few patients with significant TR undergo surgery.
The most common cause of tricuspid regurgitation is enlargement of the right ventricle. Pressure from heart conditions, such as heart failure, pulmonary hypertension and cardiomyopathy, cause the ventricle to expand.
Physical Examination. The murmur of tricuspid regurgitation is similar to that of mitral regurgitation. It is a high pitched, holosystolic murmur however it is best heard at the left lower sternal border and it radiates to the right lower sternal border.
Regurgitation - when blood leaks back through the valve in the wrong direction. Mitral valve prolapse - when one of the valves, the mitral valve, has "floppy" flaps and doesn't close tightly. It's one of the most common heart valve conditions. Sometimes it causes regurgitation.

Scarlet fever - an illness that follows strep throat. It causes a red rash on the body.
Stenosis - when the valve doesn't open enough and blocks blood flow
Regurgitation - when blood leaks back through the valve in the wrong direction
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code I07.1:
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as I07. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
I07 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail.

The main sign of heart valve disease is an unusual heartbeat sound called a heart murmur. Your doctor can hear a heart murmur with a stethoscope. But many people have heart murmurs without having a problem. Heart tests can show if you have a heart valve disease.

I did not realize Per the ICD-10 guidelines, the parentheses indicate " supplementary words that may be present or absent in the statement of a disease or procedure without affecting the code number ", Now, I can code this with confidence!!
You have to keep in mind that the term 'rheumatic' in the descriptor does not mean that you are making the patient's diagnosis rheumatic or non-rheumatic, it's just that this is the code where you are reporting a particular diagnosis if is it not specified as one or the other in the documentation.
With valve disease, there are cases where a diagnosis will end up taking you to a rheumatic or to a non-rheumatic code descriptor, and this is a case where you just have to pay careful attention to the index and use of the parentheses in order to arrive at the correct codes. Look at your includes and excludes not under each of the codes and this should help (for example, under I08, it states that 'multiple vale disease specified as rheumatic or unspecified' are included here, so this category of 'rheumatic' codes will include the unspecified disease.) I know this probably sounds confusing, but let me know if that helps some.
Per the ICD-10 guidelines, the parentheses indicate " supplementary words that may be present or absent in the statement of a disease or procedure without affecting the code number ", so these do not have to appear in the documentation, whereas terms that are not in parentheses must be documented.
This could be correct. However, there is an excludes1 note under the I08 category for codes in the I37 category. So, technically, in order to code I37.1 in addition to I08.0, you would need to meet the rule for the exception to the excludes1 note and confirm with the provider that the pulmonic regurgitation is unrelated to the other two.
