Other premature depolarization

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

What This Code Means

Early heartbeats originating from areas of the heart other than those specified in more specific codes, such as atrial or other ectopic sites.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when the specific site of premature depolarization is not clearly documented or is unusual
  • •Review documentation to determine if a more specific code (I49.1, I49.2, or I49.3) would be more appropriate
