ICD code I47- is used to classify and identify different types of paroxysmal tachycardia, a condition involving rapid heart rhythms.
ICD code I47- is paroxysmal tachycardia, which refers to episodes of abnormally fast heart rhythms that start and stop suddenly.
1. Sudden onset of rapid heart rate originating above the ventricles
2. Palpitations or sensation of a racing heartbeat
3. Episodes of tachycardia documented by ECG or cardiac monitoring
4. Heart rate typically greater than 100 beats per minute
5. Symptoms may include dizziness, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, or syncope
6. Absence of underlying structural heart disease or other identifiable causes for tachycardia
7. Exclusion of ventricular tachycardia or other arrhythmias as the primary diagnosis
Relevant CPT codes that may be used to treat ICD code I47- include:
- 93000 (Electrocardiogram, routine ECG with at least 12 leads; with interpretation and report)
- 93010 (Electrocardiogram, routine ECG with at least 12 leads; interpretation and report only)
- 93005 (Electrocardiogram, routine ECG with at least 12 leads; tracing only)
- 93224 (External electrocardiographic recording up to 48 hours by continuous rhythm recording and storage; includes recording, scanning analysis with report, physician review and interpretation)
- 93225 (External electrocardiographic recording up to 48 hours by continuous rhythm recording and storage; recording only)
- 93226 (External electrocardiographic recording up to 48 hours by continuous rhythm recording and storage; scanning analysis with report)
- 93227 (External electrocardiographic recording up to 48 hours by continuous rhythm recording and storage; physician review and interpretation)
- 93600 (Bundle of His recording)
- 93610 (Intra-atrial recording)
- 93618 (Induction of arrhythmia by electrical pacing)
- 93620 (Comprehensive electrophysiologic evaluation including insertion and repositioning of multiple electrode catheters with induction or attempted induction of arrhythmia)
- 93650 (Ablation of atrioventricular node function, with or without pacemaker insertion)
- 93653 (Comprehensive electrophysiologic evaluation including transseptal catheterization, with ablation)
- 92960 (Cardioversion, elective, external)
- 33206 (Insertion of new or replacement of permanent pacemaker with transvenous electrode(s); atrial)
- 33207 (Insertion of new or replacement of permanent pacemaker with transvenous electrode(s); ventricular)
- 33208 (Insertion of new or replacement of permanent pacemaker with transvenous electrode(s); atrial and ventricular)
