ICD Code I06 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the five child codes of I06 that describes the diagnosis 'rheumatic aortic valve diseases' in more detail.


The ICD code I06 is used to code Valvular heart disease

Valvular heart disease is any disease process involving one or more of the four valves of the heart (the aortic and mitral valves on the left and the pulmonary and tricuspid valves on the right). These conditions occur largely as a result of aging. Most people are in their late 50s when diagnosed, and more than one in ten people over 75 have it.
