ICD10 code of Atrial Septal Defects and ICD9 code

Atrial Septal Defects (ASDs) are congenital heart defects characterized by an abnormal opening in the wall (septum) that separates the upper chambers (atria) of the heart. These defects may allow oxygen-rich blood from the left atrium to mix with oxygen-poor blood in the right atrium, leading to potential complications.

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) provides specific codes to identify and classify medical conditions. The ICD-10 code for Atrial Septal Defects is Q21.1. This code falls under the category of "Congenital malformations of cardiac septa" in Chapter 17 (Congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities) of the ICD-10 coding system.

On the other hand, the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) was previously used for coding medical conditions. The corresponding ICD-9 code for Atrial Septal Defects is 745.5. This code was classified under the chapter "Congenital anomalies" in the ICD-9 coding system.

It is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred on October 1, 2015, and healthcare providers and institutions are now required to use ICD-10 for medical coding purposes.

By utilizing these specific codes, healthcare professionals can accurately document and track the occurrence of Atrial Septal Defects, facilitating proper diagnosis, treatment, and research efforts related to this condition.
