2018 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code Q21.1
Atrial septal defect
2016 2017 2018 Billable/Specific Code POA Exempt
- Q21.1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
- The 2018 edition of ICD-10-CM Q21.1 became effective on October 1, 2017.
- This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Q21.1 - other international versions of ICD-10 Q21.1 may differ.
Applicable To- Coronary sinus defect
- Patent or persistent foramen ovale
- Patent or persistent ostium secundum defect (type II)
- Patent or persistent sinus venosus defect

that may be applicable to
Q21.1:
- Atrial septal defect through coronary sinus orifice
- Atrial septal defect, coronary sinus type
- Atrial septal defect, ostium secundum type
- Atrial septal defect, sinus venosus
- Common atrium
- Cor triloculare biventriculare
- Ostium secundum type atrial septal defect
- Patent foramen ovale
- Sinus venosus atrial septal defect
Clinical Information
- A condition in which the foramen ovale in the atrial septum fails to close shortly after birth. This results in abnormal communications between the two upper chambers of the heart. An isolated patent ovale foramen without other structural heart defects is usually of no hemodynamic significance.
- Defect in the wall between the lower chambers of the heart
- Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the atrial septum resulting in abnormal communications between the two upper chambers of the heart. Classification of atrial septal defects is based on location of the communication and types of incomplete fusion of atrial septa with the endocardial cushions in the fetal heart. They include ostium primum, ostium secundum, sinus venosus, and coronary sinus defects.
- The presence of a defect (opening) in the septum that separates the two atria of the heart. The asd can be congenital or acquired.
Present On AdmissionPOA Help
"Present On Admission" is defined as present at the time the order for inpatient admission occurs — conditions that develop during an outpatient encounter, including emergency department, observation, or outpatient surgery, are considered POA.
- Q21.1 is considered exempt from POA reporting.
ICD-10-CM Q21.1 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v35.0):
- 306 Cardiac congenital and valvular disorders with mcc
- 307 Cardiac congenital and valvular disorders without mcc
