Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a type of heart disorder marked by an irregular or rapid heartbeat. Persistent AFib is one of three main types of the condition. In persistent AFib, your symptoms last longer than seven days, and your heart's rhythm isn't able to regulate itself anymore.
I48. 2 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I48. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Permanent atrial fibrillation21 - Permanent atrial fibrillation.
If it's left untreated, the condition can progress to the persistent or permanent types. Permanent AFib means that your condition is chronic despite treatment and management. The persistent stage of AFib is serious, but it's treatable. Learn what you can do about persistent AFib to help prevent further complications.
In clinical practice, one should distinguish between the clinical types of AF, as follows: paroxysmal AF (PAF: episodes of arrhythmia that terminate spontaneously), persistent AF (episodes that continue for >7 days and are not self-terminating), and permanent AF (ongoing long-term episodes).
2: Chronic atrial fibrillation.
ICD-10-CM Code for Long term (current) use of anticoagulants Z79. 01.
The code for “atrial fibrillation with RVR” is I48. 91 Unspecified atrial fibrillation.
Persistent atrial fibrillation1: Persistent 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.
