Wiki dx code question

[Bellaboo]

Physician is stating Atrial Mass. Looking for ICD9 code for this
diagnosis. Any help appreciated
Thanks!

atrial mass ICD9

429.89 Other ill-defined heart diseases

If the provider can determine if it is the connective tissue around the atrium there can be a more specific code assignment of 212.7 (neoplasm, heart, benign).

I would not assign 164.1 without clarification from the provider as the malignant aspect of this mass. (neoplasm, heart, malignant, primary)

This does not come up too often, in our practice.
