Q26.2 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.
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 Q26.2:
A congenital heart defect is a problem with the structure of the heart. It is present at birth. Congenital heart defects are the most common type of birth defect. The defects can involve the walls of the heart, the valves of the heart, and the arteries and veins near the heart. They can disrupt the normal flow of blood through the heart. The blood flow can slow down, go in the wrong direction or to the wrong place, or be blocked completely.
Anomalous pulmonary venous connection (or Anomalous pulmonary venous drainage or Anomalous pulmonary venous return) is a congenital defect of the pulmonary veins.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 747.41 was previously used, Q26.2 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
Q26.4 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of anomalous pulmonary venous connection, unspecified. The code Q26.4 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code Q26.4 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like abnormal inferior vena caval connection, anomalous pulmonary to systemic collateral vein, anomalous pulmonary venous connection of mixed type, anomalous pulmonary venous connection of mixed type with two pulmonary venous confluences, anomalous pulmonary venous drainage , anomalous pulmonary venous drainage to abdominal portion of inferior vena cava, etc. The code is exempt from present on admission (POA) reporting for inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals.#N#Unspecified diagnosis codes like Q26.4 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
A congenital heart defect is a problem with the structure of the heart. It is present at birth. Congenital heart defects are the most common type of birth defect. The defects can involve the walls of the heart, the valves of the heart, and the arteries and veins near the heart. They can disrupt the normal flow of blood through the heart. The blood flow can slow down, go in the wrong direction or to the wrong place, or be blocked completely.
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code Q26.4 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
Anomalous pulmonary venous connection (or Anomalous pulmonary venous drainage or Anomalous pulmonary venous return) is a congenital defect of the pulmonary veins.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code Q26.4 and a single ICD9 code, 747.42 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a birth defect of the heart. In a baby with TAPVR, oxygen-rich blood does not return from the lungs to the left atrium. Instead, the oxygen-rich blood returns to the right side of the heart. Here, oxygen-rich blood mixes with oxygen-poor blood. This causes the baby to get less oxygen ...
In other words, about 1 in every 7,809 babies born in the United States each year are born with Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return. 1
The blood that comes back from the lungs is oxygen-rich, and it moves through the pulmonary veins to the left atrium. The left side of the heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body through the aorta. Learn more about how the heart works ».
Some babies have heart defects because of changes in their genes or chromosomes. Heart defects also are thought to be caused by a combination of genes and other risk factors, such as the things the mother or fetus come in contact with in the environment or what the mother eats or drinks or the medicines she uses.
This is an ultrasound of the heart that can show problems with the structure of the heart, like holes in the walls between the chambers, and any irregular blood flow. Cardiac catheterization also can confirm the diagnosis by showing that the blood vessels are abnormally attached.
A fetal echocardiogram is an ultrasound specifically of the baby’s heart and major blood vessels that is performed during the pregnancy. This test can show problems with the structure of the heart and how well the heart is working. However, TAPVR defect is not commonly detected during pregnancy.
TAPVR is a critical congenital heart defect (critical CHD) that also can be detected with newborn pulse oximetry screening using pulse oximetry (also known as pulse ox). Pulse oximetry is a simple bedside test to determine the amount of oxygen in a baby’s blood. Low levels of oxygen in the blood can be a sign of a CCHD.
