2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I08Multiple valve diseases
I08 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for multiple valve diseases, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as I08.0, I08.1, I08.2, and I08.3.

Non-specific codes like I08 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:
Use I08.0 for Rheumatic disorders of both mitral and aortic valves
Use I08.1 for Rheumatic disorders of both mitral and tricuspid valves
Use I08.2 for Rheumatic disorders of both aortic and tricuspid valves
Use I08.3 for Combined rheumatic disorders of mitral, aortic and tricuspid valves
Use I08.8 for Other rheumatic multiple valve diseases
Use I08.9 for Rheumatic multiple valve disease, unspecified
Tabular List NotesGuidance
Coding notes and annotation back-references applicable to this code.
Includes
- multiple valve diseases specified as rheumatic or unspecified
Type 1 Excludes
Type 2 Excludes
This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
