ICD10 code of Ebsteins Anomaly and ICD9 code

Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital heart defect characterized by abnormal positioning of the tricuspid valve, which separates the right atrium from the right ventricle. The ICD-10 code for Ebstein's anomaly is Q22.5. This code falls under the category of "Congenital malformations of cardiac chambers and connections" in the ICD-10 coding system.

In contrast, the ICD-9 code for Ebstein's anomaly is 746.2. This code is found within the "Congenital anomalies of heart" section of the ICD-9 coding system. It is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred in October 2015, so the ICD-10 code is currently the most widely used for medical billing and documentation purposes.

It is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional or a certified medical coder for accurate coding and to ensure compliance with the most up-to-date coding standards.
