Stenosis of pulmonary artery

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

What This Code Means

A birth defect where the pulmonary artery is abnormally narrowed, restricting blood flow to the lungs and forcing the heart to work harder.

Coding Tips

  • •Document the severity of stenosis if quantified (mild, moderate, severe) or hemodynamic measurements
  • •Note whether this is isolated or associated with other congenital heart defects
