Mitral Valve Repair ICD-10-CM Codes

What mitral valve repair ICD codes can I use?

While there are no specific mitral valve repair ICD codes, you can use the following codes instead:

• Z95.2 - Presence of prosthetic heart valve

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have a prosthetic heart valve. Repairing a mitral valve may require the use of a prosthetic or some other material that can help repair/reshape the valve.

• Z95.3 - Presence of xenogenic heart valve

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have a xenogenic heart valve. This xenogenic heart valve’s presence may be due to mitral valve repair, so this can be used.

• Z98.890 - Other specified postprocedural states

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient who has a post-procedural state. The state of having a repaired mitral valve applies.

Are these mitral valve repair ICD codes billable?

Yes. All the aforementioned codes are valid (in general, but not as principal diagnoses) and billable.

Clinical information about mitral valve repair:

• Mitral valve repair is a surgical procedure to fix the mitral valve in the heart, which controls blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle.
• This procedure is typically recommended when the mitral valve is leaking (regurgitation) or narrowed (stenosis), causing disruptions in normal blood flow.
• Mitral valve repair is often favored over valve replacement, as it retains the patient's own valve tissue and eliminates the need for long-term blood thinners.
• The procedure can be performed through traditional open heart surgery or minimally invasive surgery involving smaller incisions.
• Success rates for mitral valve repair are high, with most patients experiencing significant improvement in symptoms and quality of life.
• Potential risks of mitral valve repair include bleeding, infection, irregular heart rhythms, stroke, and in rare cases, the need for a second surgery.
• Postoperative care involves monitoring heart function, administering medication to manage pain and prevent blood clots, and providing physical therapy for recovery.
• As with any surgical procedure, the benefits and risks should be thoroughly discussed with a healthcare provider before making a decision.
