I48

Atrial fibrillation and flutter

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 6 more specific codes instead:

  • I48.0 Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
  • I48.1 Persistent atrial fibrillation (also a header)
  • I48.2 Chronic atrial fibrillation (also a header)
  • I48.3 Typical atrial flutter
  • I48.4 Atypical atrial flutter
  • I48.9 Unspecified atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter (also a header)

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
