Abnormal electrocardiogram [ECG] [EKG] R94.31 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM R94.31 became effective on October 1, 2019. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R94.31 - other international versions of ICD-10 R94.31 may differ.
This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Q87.19 - other international versions of ICD-10 Q87.19 may differ.
Q87.19 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Other congen malform synd predom assoc with short stature The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Q87.19 became effective on October 1, 2020.
My coder is very obssessive with the rules and would need to see it on the ICD 10 book before accepting my answers. The R94.31 is what we use for the low QRS voltage. However, she insists on coding R94.31 even if there is atrial fibrillation as a first-code (which i disagree with).
R94.31The R94. 31 is what we use for the low QRS voltage.
Abnormal electrocardiogramICD-10 code R94. 31 for Abnormal electrocardiogram [ECG] [EKG] is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
ICD-10-CM Code for Long QT syndrome I45. 81.
ICD-10 code I47. 2 for Ventricular tachycardia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .

A prolonged QT interval is an irregular heart rhythm that can be seen on an electrocardiogram. It reflects a disturbance in how the heart's bottom chambers (ventricles) send signals. In a prolonged QT interval, it takes longer than usual for the heart to recharge between beats.
The QT interval is a measurement that represents the total time from ventricular depolarization to complete repolarization. This process begins at the start of the q wave and extends to the end of the T wave. If there is no q wave, then the starting point would be the very beginning of the R wave.
QT corrected for heart rate (QTc) interval reflects ventricular repolarization, and its prolongation can lead to fatal ventricular arrhythmias. Studies on obese patients report a prolonged QTc interval as well as an increased rate of sudden cardiac death when compared with lean individuals.
Narrow QRS complex tachycardia (NCT) represents an umbrella term for any rapid cardiac rhythm greater than 100 beats per minute (bpm) with a QRS duration of less than 120 milliseconds (ms).
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a condition where your heart suddenly beats much faster than normal. It's not usually serious, but some people may need treatment.
In ICD-10-CM the codes would be I47. 2, ventricular tachycardia, and code I46. 9, Cardiac arrest, unspecified. As far as the coding of these conditions, under (I46) cardiac arrest there is an Excludes 1 note for cardiogenic shock (R57.
The R94.31 is what we use for the low QRS voltage. However, she insists on coding R94.31 even if there is atrial fibrillation as a first-code (which i disagree with). Atrial fibrillation is an acceptable dx for EKG reading and interpretation. Thanks!
First, code R94.31 is not appropriate to report when there is a definitive diagnosis given. See chapter specific guidelines. Secondly, are these diagnoses, i.e., I50.23 and I51.7, provided in the indications or on the order for the EKG? Because then they would be substantiated. I would review the order or indications for the diagnosis code, if not R94.31 might be your option.
