Unspecified atrial fibrillation
Even after doing ablation procedure to correct Afib there may be need of medication. Afib ICD 10 codes and guidelines can be found in chapter 9 of ICD-10-CM manual which is “diseases of the circulatory system”, code range I00 – I99
Common symptoms occur are palpitation, shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness and reduced ability to exercise. Physician finds out Afib by checking the signs and symptoms and physical examination.
I48.1 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 I48.1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Tests to be used to detect Afib are electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, holter monitor, stress test and chest X-ray. Afib can be managed with anti-arrhythmic or anticoagulant drugs. Even after doing ablation procedure to correct Afib there may be need of medication.

ICD-10 code: I48. 0 Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
What is Afib with RVR? Some cases of Afib involve atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (RVR). This is when the rapid contractions of the atria make the ventricles beat too quickly. If the ventricles beat too fast, they can't receive enough blood. So they can't meet the body's need for oxygenated blood.

Paroxysmal A-fib occurs when there are abnormal electric pathways in the heart and the heart is not beating regularly or pumping enough oxygen-rich blood around the body. Share on Pinterest Paroxysmal A-fib may be caused by lifestyle choices such as illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, obesity, and excessive exercise.
What Does AFib With RVR Feel Like? A normal heartbeat is 60 to 100 beats per minute (BPM). In AFib with RVR, your heart rate can reach more than 100 BPM.
In some cases of AFib, the fibrillation of the atria causes the ventricles, or lower chambers of the heart, to beat too fast. This is called a rapid ventricular rate or response (RVR). If you have AFib with RVR you'll experience symptoms, typically a rapid or fluttering heartbeat.
The three main types of atrial fibrillation (A-fib) are: paroxysmal, persistent, and long-term persistent. Doctors also categorize A-fib as either valvular or nonvalvular.
I49. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I49.
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.
There are different types of afib based on how long it lasts. Persistent – Lasts more than 7 days and it needs an intervention to restore the rhythm. Chronic (Permanent) – Chronic stays more than 12 months and it is called permanent when the abnormal heart rhythm cannot be restored.
Tests to be used to detect Afib are electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, holter monitor, stress test and chest X-ray. Afib can be managed with anti-arrhythmic or anticoagulant drugs. Even after doing ablation procedure to correct Afib there may be need of medication.
Atrial Fibrillation is an irregular (often rapid) heartbeat which may lead to blood clot in the heart and travel to other parts of the body and make blocks. Afib itself is not fatal but it is critical when it leads to stroke or heart failure. Hence Afib needs to be managed.
