Scrotal varices

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

What This Code Means

Scrotal varices are enlarged, twisted veins in the scrotum, similar to varicose veins that occur in the legs. This condition can cause discomfort or swelling in the scrotal area.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation specifies the scrotum location to distinguish from other types of varices (such as esophageal or gastric varices)
  • •Confirm whether the varices are primary (idiopathic) or secondary to another condition, as this may affect coding accuracy and clinical management
