Patient has aortic valve stenosis and mitral valve regurg.... what icd9 do i use? i'm having a brain fart...
well .. that was FUN!
Cardio diagnosis coding is not my expertise by far .. it takes me forever because there are so many combo codes and so many things called the same thing different ways ...
Mitral regurgitation is also called 'insufficiency' - so according to the article below:

Mitral regurg w/ aortic valve stenosis would be coded as 396.2![]()
THANKS guys for the help!
