Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition

Arrhythmia codes:

When a patient is admitted that has a pre-existing LVAD and has had it for months to years, do you capture this in the database somehow? There is no comorbid entry for VAD, “has one” , like it does for other things like permanent pacer or ICD. If the diagnosis is related to the VAD itself (like a mechanical failure), we can use iatrogenic mechanical failure. If the diagnosis is something else, do you care if the pt has a VAD? We cannot put it in CCI because it is out of our time frame. Just checking as this has come up a few times before and we always struggle with how to code the pre-existing “permanent” VAD patient. -- Laura Kolesar - Feb 7.19
