Questions About I34Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for nonrheumatic mitral valve disorders?
I34 is the ICD-10-CM category for nonrheumatic mitral valve disorders, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.
Is I34 (Nonrheumatic mitral valve disorders) a billable code?
No. This is a category header that groups the codes for nonrheumatic mitral valve disorders, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for nonrheumatic mitral valve disorders need a more specific code from this category, such as I34.0, I34.1, and I34.2.
Can I34 be reported with I05.9?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on I34 lists "mitral valve disease (I05.9)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
