A-fib with RVR is the common term for atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. A common disorder that involves a rapid heart rate, it requires medical attention and, in many cases, hospitalization.
In ICD-10-CM, there are four codes to report atrial fibrillation:
I48.2 is used to report atrial fibrillation when specified as chronic or permanent (Will be expanded 10/1/19)
Atrial fibrillation is still reported in patients that are not currently experiencing the erratic rhythm as long as the patient is requiring ongoing medication to help control the rate. Atrial fibrillation is very common in postoperative patients and should be verified as a complication before coding as such.
If the rate is below 150bpm you may be stuck with unspecified, although we used to also call the RVR paroxysmal afib if it had a variable rate and went up above 130 frequently, that won't matter much because Paroxysmal gets no credit under the IPPS. It may help in other methodologies.
The coder certainly cannot code Afib with RVR to paroxysmal. However, going by the clinical definition (you may want to run it by your physician champion), if the rate is highly variable and goes into the 120s and 130s I think you have enough justification for a query for paroxysmal. For this, you may actually have to review the ECG readings. I agree with unspecified if no other specificity is noted as far as the coder is concerned. If they have an established chronic diagnosis of Afib and a new onset acute diagnosis of paroxysmal afib I see no reason why both can't be reported. (others may chime in with a reference that proves me wrong we will see). If however there is no variable rate so it is a steady 120 for instance, you may not even get paroxysmal from the physician and be stuck with the chronic code (still more specific than unspecified). If chronic afib is the pdx, i expect payers to deny pending requests for further information however, so this presents a UR problem for the facility.
