Dextrocardia

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

What This Code Means

A congenital condition where the heart is positioned on the right side of the chest instead of the normal left side.

Coding Tips

  • •Dextrocardia can occur as an isolated defect or as part of situs inversus totalis; document whether other organs are also reversed
  • •Confirm imaging findings (chest X-ray or echocardiogram) are documented to support this diagnosis

Excludes 1 — Do NOT code together

  • dextrocardia with situs inversus (Q89.3)
  • isomerism of atrial appendages (with asplenia or polysplenia) (Q20.6)
  • mirror-image atrial arrangement with situs inversus (Q89.3)
