ICD-10 code for intraventricular nonspecific block

The ICD-10-CM code for intraventricular nonspecific block is I45.4 (Nonspecific intraventricular block). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on I45.4.

Within I45 (other conduction disorders), I45.4 is specifically for nonspecific intraventricular block. Related codes cover right fascicular block (I45.0), other and unspecified right bundle-branch block (I45.1), Bifascicular block (I45.2), Trifascicular block (I45.3), other specified heart block (I45.5), Pre-excitation syndrome (I45.6), other specified conduction disorders (I45.8) and conduction disorder, unspecified (I45.9).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 308 (Cardiac Arrhythmia and Conduction Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.1806), DRG 309 (Cardiac Arrhythmia and Conduction Disorders with CC, relative weight 0.7316) and DRG 310 (Cardiac Arrhythmia and Conduction Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.568), in MDC 05 (Diseases and Disorders of the Circulatory System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
