Postthrombotic syndrome without complications of right lower extremity

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

What This Code Means

Chronic pain, swelling, and skin changes in the right leg following a previous blood clot, without open wounds.

Coding Tips

  • •Postthrombotic syndrome requires documentation of prior deep vein thrombosis; verify this history is noted
  • •The laterality (right, left, bilateral) must be specified; do not use unspecified code if side is documented
