Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

I34.8 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other nonrheumatic mitral valve disorders. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above I34.8

These are not written on I34.8, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing I34.8 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on I34 — Nonrheumatic mitral valve disorders

mitral valve disease (I05.9)
mitral valve failure (I05.8)
mitral valve stenosis (I05.0)
mitral valve disorder of unspecified cause with diseases of aortic and/or tricuspid valve(s) (I08.-)
mitral valve disorder of unspecified cause with mitral stenosis or obstruction (I05.0)
mitral valve disorder specified as congenital (Q23.2, Q23.9)
mitral valve disorder specified as rheumatic (I05.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with I34.8

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at I34.8. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading I34.8 alone.

Risk adjustment

I34.8 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code history

I34.8 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
