Published on Mon Apr 29, 2024

Question: I saw “Bouveret-Hoffmann” in my cardiologist’s documentation. How should I report this condition? Texas Subscriber Answer: Bouveret-Hoffmann is a type of paroxysmal tachycardia, so you would report I47.9 (Paroxysmal tachycardia, unspecified) for this condition. When you look under code I47.9 in the ICD-10-CM manual, you can see that Bouveret-Hoffmann syndrome is a covered condition for this code.
