Complications and ill-defined descriptions of heart disease

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 9 more specific codes instead:

I51.0 Cardiac septal defect, acquired
I51.1 Rupture of chordae tendineae, not elsewhere classified
I51.2 Rupture of papillary muscle, not elsewhere classified
I51.3 Intracardiac thrombosis, not elsewhere classified
I51.4 Myocarditis, unspecified
I51.5 Myocardial degeneration
I51.7 Cardiomegaly
I51.8 Other ill-defined heart diseases (also a header)
I51.9 Heart disease, unspecified

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.
