Unspecified premature depolarization

BILLABLE

| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

I49.40 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of unspecified premature depolarization. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Premature beats, unspecified (exact match)

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 427.60 was previously used, I49.40 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
