Code Classification

  • Diseases of the circulatory system
    (I00–I99)
    • Other forms of heart disease
      (I30-I5A)
      • Paroxysmal tachycardia
        (I47)

I47.1 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of supraventricular tachycardia. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

The code is commonly used in cardiology medical specialties to specify clinical concepts such as abnormalities of heart rhythm.

Specific Coding Applicable to Supraventricular tachycardia

Non-specific codes like I47.1 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for supraventricular tachycardia:

  • Use I47.10 for Supraventricular tachycardia, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use I47.11 for Inappropriate sinus tachycardia, so stated - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use I47.19 for Other supraventricular tachycardia - BILLABLE CODE

Clinical Classification

New 2024 ICD-10-CM Code

I47.1 is new to ICD-10-CM code set for the FY 2024, effective October 1, 2023. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has published an update to the ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes which became effective October 1, 2023. This is a new and revised code for the FY 2024 (October 1, 2023 - September 30, 2024).

Replaced Code

This code was replaced in the 2024 ICD-10-CM code set with the code(s) listed below. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has published an update to the ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes which became effective October 1, 2023. This code was replaced for the FY 2024 (October 1, 2023 - September 30, 2024).


  • I47.10 - Supraventricular tachycardia, unspecified
  • I47.11 - Inappropriate sinus tachycardia, so stated
  • I47.19 - Other supraventricular tachycardia

Convert I47.1 to ICD-9-CM

  • ICD-9-CM Code: 427.0 - Parox atrial tachycardia
    Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Patient Education


Arrhythmia

An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. It means that your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. When the heart beats faster than normal, it is called tachycardia. When the heart beats too slowly, it is called bradycardia. The most common type of arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation, which causes an irregular and fast heart beat.

Many factors can affect your heart's rhythm, such as having had a heart attack, smoking, congenital heart defects, and stress. Some substances or medicines may also cause arrhythmias.

Symptoms of arrhythmias include:

  • Fast or slow heart beat
  • Skipping beats
  • Lightheadedness or dizziness
  • Chest pain
  • Shortness of breath
  • Sweating

Your doctor can run tests to find out if you have an arrhythmia. Treatment to restore a normal heart rhythm may include medicines, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or pacemaker, or sometimes surgery.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
