Presence of xenogenic heart valve

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

What This Code Means

A patient who has had a heart valve replaced with a valve from an animal source (such as pig or cow tissue) to restore normal heart function.

Coding Tips

  • •Xenogenic valves are specifically animal-derived; distinguish from homografts (human tissue) and mechanical valves
  • •Document the specific animal source if available, as this may affect long-term management and follow-up care
