What is the ICD10 code for Tetralogy Of Fallot? And the ICD9 code for Tetralogy Of Fallot?
Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart defect characterized by four abnormalities: ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, overriding aorta, and right ventricular hypertrophy. The ICD-10 code for Tetralogy of Fallot is Q21.3. In the previous coding system, ICD-9, the code for this condition was 745.2. These codes are used for medical documentation, billing, and statistical purposes.
Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart defect characterized by four specific abnormalities in the structure of the heart. These include a ventricular septal defect (a hole in the wall separating the two lower chambers of the heart), pulmonary stenosis (narrowing of the pulmonary valve and artery), an overriding aorta (the aorta is positioned over both the left and right ventricles instead of just the left), and right ventricular hypertrophy (thickening of the right ventricle).
In the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), Tetralogy of Fallot is classified under the code Q21.3. The "Q" indicates a congenital malformation, and the numbers further specify the specific defect. In this case, Q21.3 refers to Tetralogy of Fallot.
In the previous version, ICD-9, Tetralogy of Fallot was classified under code 745.2. The ICD-9 code system is an older version that was replaced by ICD-10 in 2015. In ICD-9, codes starting with 745 represent congenital anomalies of the heart, and the number .2 specifies Tetralogy of Fallot.
It is important to note that ICD codes are used by medical professionals for billing, record-keeping, and statistical purposes. These codes provide a standardized way to classify and communicate specific diagnoses. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate medical management of any condition.
