Billable

Varicose veins of unspecified lower extremity with inflammation

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Enlarged, twisted veins in the leg that are inflamed, causing swelling, redness, and discomfort. This condition occurs when valves in the veins weaken, allowing blood to pool and the veins to become swollen and irritated.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation specifies inflammation is present; if only varicose veins without inflammation are documented, use I83.90 instead
  • •If the affected leg is specified (right or left), use the more specific codes I83.11 (right) or I83.12 (left) rather than the unspecified code I83.10
