When coding secondary hypercoagulable state be sure to code the causal condition. See examples below. ICD-10 CODES I48.0 Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
A disease of the heart characterized by irregular and often faster heartbeat.
Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB) ICD 10. The code for types of atrial fibrillation (afib) and flutter in the ICD 10 is I48.

Yes, ICD 10 code D68.69 (Other thrombophilia) groups multiple ICD 9 code descriptors within this category including secondary hypercoagulable state (previously 289.82). Question: What is the difference between coding a primary vs. secondary hypercoagulable state?
In ICD-10-CM, there are 5 category codes for diabetes mellitus: - E08 – Diabetes mellitus due to underlying conditions - E09 – Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus - E10 – Type 1 diabetes mellitus - E11 – Type 2 diabetes mellitus - E13 – Other specified diabetes mellitus.
Permanent atrial fibrillation21 - Permanent atrial fibrillation.
I48ICD-10 code I48 for Atrial fibrillation and flutter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Chronic AF is reported using code I48. 20 (a CC) when the specific type of AF is not documented. When the diagnosis is atrial flutter/fibrillation, assign both the code for atrial flutter (I48. 92) and atrial fibrillation based on the specific type of atrial fibrillation.
91: Unspecified atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation (A-fib) is an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots in the heart. A-fib increases the risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications.
AFIB Ablation ICD 10 If the patient has had an ablation for paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation, it will be under code 148.91 now that the patient is in sinus rhythm. If the condition is no longer present or therapy is required, the follow-up code Z09 would be used.
An ECG (a test that records the electrical activity of the heart) may show atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. If your abnormal heart rhythm comes and goes, you may need to wear a special monitor to diagnose the problem. The monitor records the heart's rhythms over a period of time.
ICD-10 code Z51. 81 for Encounter for therapeutic drug level monitoring is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .

Heart Failure, UnspecifiedICD-9 Code Transition: 428.0 Code I50. 9 is the diagnosis code used for Heart Failure, Unspecified. It is a disorder characterized by the inability of the heart to pump blood at an adequate volume to meet tissue metabolic requirements.

Code G47. 33 is the diagnosis code used for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. It is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or instances of shallow breathing during sleep.

Atrial fibrillation is also referred to as “A-Fib” or “AF.”
The biggest risk factor with atrial fibrillation is that the blood, while trapped in the atria will coagulate, or form a clot. This clot then can be pushed through the heart and become lodged in an artery in the brain causing a stroke.
Paroxysmal refers to the frequency with which one experiences atrial fibrillation. Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation usually lasts hours or days.
Generally, a treatment will try to regulate and control the abnormal heart beat pattern as well as work to prevent blood clots and stroke–the biggest risk factors for persons with atrial fibrillation.
Atrial Fibrillation may be referred to as acute or chronic. Chronic means that it lasts a long time, or lifetime.
The risk with Afib is clots forming in the atria because there is incomplete emptying and stagnant blood = clotting. Add to this an underlying clotting problem and the risk just gets higher. The word "secondary" is a clue that the risk of clotting is present regardless of the heart rhythm. Check the lab results for the proof of thrombophilia.
I think my response is confusing so sorry about that! Clinical risk in and of itself is not codeable in my opinion - it's a vague reference at best.
Optum article is not an ICD-10 guideline. Prophylaxis of a disease condition is not equal to a confirmed diagnosis. Suspected conditions cannot be reported as confirmed diagnoses in outpatient settings.
There can not be a blanket statement unless there is a coding concept in the ICD-10 manual. Secondary hypercoagulable state is not associated with A.Fib. I am sure the vendor is aware of the risks of upcoding.
Wintrobe’s clinical hematology text (chapter 55 - Thrombosis and Antithrombotic Therapy - see table 55.1) it does not mention anywhere that atrial fibrillation as a risk factor or associated with the secondary hypercoagulable state at all, while other known diseases, such as antiphospholipid syndromes, estrogen use, pregnancy, and active cancer are listed as risk factors.
fwnewbie. Regardless of what is causing the thrombophilia, A-fib does not cause a disorder within the platelets-it allows the stagnant blood in the atrium to clot. If there is no lab that shows what is causing the secondary hypercoagulable state, then all you have is the default code.
If provider has a written assessment from a Hematologist or a cardiovascular specialist or the Electrophysiologist, then only you can validate that the secondary hypercoagulable state actually exists and is beyond just "risk of" that clotting state.
To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the six child codes of I48 that describes the diagnosis 'atrial fibrillation and flutter' in more detail. I48 Atrial fibrillation and flutter. NON-BILLABLE.
I48. Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code I48 is a non-billable code.
In general, a resting heart rate over 100 beats per minute is accepted as tachycardia in adults. Heart rates above the resting rate may be normal (such as with exercise) or abnormal (such as with electrical problems within the heart). Specialty: Cardiology. MeSH Codes:
