ICD Code I47.1

ICD code I47.1 is a classification used to identify supraventricular tachycardia, a condition characterized by an abnormally fast heartbeat originating above the heart's ventricles. This code is utilized in medical billing and documentation to ensure accurate representation of the diagnosis for reimbursement and statistical purposes.

1. Rapid Heart Rate: The patient exhibits a heart rate exceeding 100 beats per minute, which is not attributable to physical exertion or stress.

2. Palpitations: The patient reports experiencing a sensation of rapid or irregular heartbeats, often described as a fluttering or pounding in the chest.

3. Dizziness or Lightheadedness: The patient experiences episodes of dizziness or a sensation of being lightheaded, which may be associated with the rapid heart rate.

4. Shortness of Breath: The patient reports difficulty breathing or a feeling of breathlessness, particularly during episodes of rapid heart rate.

5. Chest Pain or Discomfort: The patient experiences chest pain or discomfort, which may be sharp, dull, or pressure-like, and is often associated with the rapid heart rate.

6. Fatigue: The patient reports feeling unusually tired or fatigued, which may be persistent or occur in conjunction with episodes of rapid heart rate.

7. Syncope or Near-Syncope: The patient has experienced fainting or near-fainting episodes, which may be related to the rapid heart rate.

8. Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings: An ECG shows evidence of a narrow QRS complex tachycardia, confirming the presence of a supraventricular rhythm.

9. Exclusion of Other Causes: Other potential causes of the symptoms, such as anxiety, hyperthyroidism, or other cardiac conditions, have been ruled out through appropriate diagnostic testing.

10. Response to Vagal Maneuvers or Medication: The patient's symptoms improve with vagal maneuvers (e.g., Valsalva maneuver) or specific medications, supporting the diagnosis.

For the ICD code I47.1, which pertains to supraventricular tachycardia, the relevant CPT codes that may be applicable for treatment include:

1. 93653 - Comprehensive electrophysiologic evaluation including insertion and repositioning of multiple electrode catheters with induction or attempted induction of arrhythmia, with atrial ablation.

2. 93654 - Electrophysiologic evaluation with ablation of supraventricular tachycardia.

3. 93655 - Add-on code for additional ablation of arrhythmogenic focus.

4. 93000 - Electrocardiogram, routine ECG with at least 12 leads; with interpretation and report.

5. 93010 - Electrocardiogram, routine ECG with at least 12 leads; interpretation and report only.

6. 93279 - Programming device evaluation (in person) with iterative adjustment of the implantable device to test the function of the device and select optimal permanent programmed values with analysis, review, and report by a physician or other qualified healthcare professional; single lead pacemaker system.

These CPT codes are commonly used in the treatment and management of conditions associated with ICD code I47.1. It is important for healthcare providers to select the appropriate CPT code based on the specific procedures performed and the clinical scenario.
