Objective: Although the ICD-9-CM code 745.5 is widely used to indicate the presence of a secundum atrial septal defect (ASD), it is also used for patent foramen ovale (PFO) which is a normal variant and for "rule-out" congenital heart disease (CHD). The ICD-10-CM code Q21. 1 perpetuates this issue.
Congenital anomalies can be defined as structural or functional anomalies that occur during intrauterine life. Also called birth defects, congenital disorders, or congenital malformations, these conditions develop prenatally and may be identified before or at birth, or later in life.
Multiple congenital anomaly is the occurrence of two or more major anomalies that are unrelated. This means that the major anomalies are presumed to be a random association, and do not constitute a sequence or a previously recognized syndrome.
Additional codes should be assigned for manifestations that are not an inherent component. If a congenital malformation or deformity has been corrected, a personal history code should be used to identify the history of the malformation or deformity.
Congenital anomalies, also commonly referred to as birth defects, congenital disorders, congenital malformations, or congenital abnormalities, are conditions of prenatal origin that are present at birth, potentially impacting an infant's health, development and/or survival.

However, do not assign codes for manifestations that are inherent to the congenital anomaly. • Congenital anomaly codes may be used throughout a patient’s life when documented by the physician. If the congenital anomaly has been corrected, assign a personal history code for the anomaly.
