ICD-10 Medical Codes for Heart Murmur in Neonates - An Overview Heart murmur in newborns can be associated with congenital, heart disease. Any abnormality observed requires urgent assessment by a pediatric cardiologist. Medical billing and coding services are essential to submit errorfree insurance claims. Heart murmur is diagnosed through the following tests: • Echocardiogram: Detailed images of the heart and structure are taken using ultrasound waves. • Chest X-Ray: The image of heart, lungs and blood vessels are taken. It can detect the enlargement of the heat which can be the cause of heart murmurs in infants. • Electrocardiogram (ECG): Rhythm of the heart is monitored. The strength and timing of electric impulses are analyzed when it moves through different parts of the heart. • Cardiac Catheterization: It helps to examine the functioning of heart by inserting a small and hollow tube called catheter into a large blood vessel. Precise and error-free documentation and code assignment is important for seamless revenue management. Appropriate ICD- 10 codes can be selected and applied after diagnosing the underlying cause of heart murmur in newborns.
