Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventriculare rate
would this be coded as just 427.31 or should 427.1 be included?
i don't feel the second code should be added but was told it should be by another coder.
 
Rapid Ventricular rate is an integral part of Atrial fibrillation, so ICD code - 427.31 is the appropriate one.

Hope it helps,

Thank You,
