I08 — Multiple valve diseases
I08 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for multiple valve diseases. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist
The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.
Includes
Conditions this code covers.
- multiple valve diseases specified as rheumatic or unspecified
Other codes that can never be billed with I08
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at I08. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading I08 alone.
Risk adjustment
I08 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Code to one of these instead I08
6 child codes. Green means billable.
- I08.0Rheumatic disorders of both mitral and aortic valves
- I08.1Rheumatic disorders of both mitral and tricuspid valves
- I08.2Rheumatic disorders of both aortic and tricuspid valves
- I08.3Combined rheumatic disorders of mitral, aortic and tricuspid valves
- I08.8Other rheumatic multiple valve diseases
- I08.9Rheumatic multiple valve disease, unspecified
