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

What This Code Means

A condition where a vein is being squeezed or narrowed, restricting blood flow and potentially causing pain or swelling.

Coding Tips

  • •Identify the cause of compression (tumor, scar tissue, external pressure) if documented, as this may require an additional code
  • •Specify the anatomical location of the compressed vein when possible

Excludes 2 — Not included here, may code separately

  • compression of pulmonary vein (I28.8)
