2025 ICD-10-CM code T82.02XA
Displacement of heart valve prosthesis, initial encounter.
Medical necessity for treatment of a displaced heart valve prosthesis is established by the presence of symptoms or signs that compromise cardiac function or pose a risk of further complications.The severity of the displacement and the potential for adverse outcomes determine the intensity of the intervention, which must be clearly documented.
Diagnosing and managing the displacement of the heart valve prosthesis. This may involve imaging studies (such as echocardiography) to assess the extent of displacement and determine the appropriate course of action, which could range from medication management to surgical intervention.
In simple words: The heart valve replacement has shifted out of place. This is the first time the patient is being seen for this issue.
Displacement of a prosthetic heart valve, initial encounter.
Example 1: A patient presents with shortness of breath and chest pain after a recent heart valve replacement surgery. An echocardiogram reveals displacement of the prosthetic valve., During a routine follow-up appointment, a patient with a history of heart valve replacement is found to have a displaced prosthetic valve on echocardiography, despite being asymptomatic., A patient experiences sudden onset of palpitations and dizziness. Diagnostic tests confirm a displaced heart valve prosthesis as the cause.
Documentation should include details of the initial presentation, symptoms, diagnostic findings (e.g., echocardiogram, CT scan), and the treatment plan.The documentation should clearly establish the causal relationship between the displaced heart valve and the patient's presenting symptoms.
