Pre-excitation syndrome

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A condition where an extra electrical pathway exists in the heart, causing electrical signals to travel faster than normal and potentially triggering rapid heartbeats.

Coding Tips

  • •This code is often associated with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome; verify if WPW is documented for more specific coding
  • •Pre-excitation refers to early activation of the ventricles via an accessory pathway
