Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
Verify documentation specifies the LEFT lower extremity; use I80.01 for right side and I80.00 for unspecified side
Confirm whether the condition involves phlebitis alone or thrombophlebitis (with clot); thrombophlebitis is more severe and may require additional coding for the thrombosis itself

What This Code Means

I80.02 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for phlebitis and thrombophlebitis of superficial vessels of left lower extremity. This code describes inflammation of a vein (phlebitis) or inflammation with a blood clot (thrombophlebitis) in the shallow veins of the left leg. This condition causes pain, swelling, and redness in the affected area. I80.02 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the circulatory system (i00-i99), within the section covering diseases of veins, lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes, not elsewhere classified (i80-i89).

I80.02 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but no current CMS-HCC V28 community payment mapping is shown, and none under the ESRD, Part D RxHCC, or HHS-HCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.

Verify documentation specifies the LEFT lower extremity; use I80.01 for right side and I80.00 for unspecified side.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for I80.02 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Verify documentation specifies the LEFT lower extremity; use I80.01 for right side and I80.00 for unspecified side
  • Confirm whether the condition involves phlebitis alone or thrombophlebitis (with clot); thrombophlebitis is more severe and may require additional coding for the thrombosis itself
