What is the ICD 10 code for chronic DVT?
Why ICD-10 codes are important
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a medical condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein. These clots usually develop in the lower leg, thigh, or pelvis, but they can also occur in the arm.
40: Acute embolism and thrombosis of unspecified deep veins of lower extremity.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I82. 403: Acute embolism and thrombosis of unspecified deep veins of lower extremity, bilateral.
ICD-10 code Z86. 71 for Personal history of venous thrombosis and embolism is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Acute DVT refers to venous thrombosis for which symptoms have been present for 14 days or less. The symptoms of acute DVT are limb swelling and pain. During this period the clot is soft and easily treated with clot dissolving drugs. Subacute DVT refers to venous thrombosis that is between acute and chronic.

ICD-10 code R22. 43 for Localized swelling, mass and lump, lower limb, bilateral is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in the deep veins of the body. This is a serious condition as the blood clot can travel through the bloodstream and cause blockages in other parts of the body such as the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism (PE).

Chronic embolism and thrombosis of unspecified deep veins of lower extremity, bilateral. I82. 503 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
10 for Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .

The ICD code I82 is used to code Thrombosis. Thrombosis (Greek: θρόμβωσις) is the formation of a blood clot (thrombus; Greek: θρόμβος) inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system. When a blood vessel is injured, the body uses platelets (thrombocytes) and fibrin to form a blood clot to prevent blood loss.

The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code I82.A19 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
A blood clot is mass of blood that forms when platelets, proteins, and cells in the blood stick together. When you get hurt, your body forms a blood clot to stop the bleeding. After the bleeding stops and healing takes place, your body usually breaks down and removes the blood clot.
The symptoms for blood clots can be different, depending on where the blood clot is:
Treatments for blood clots depend on where the blood clot is located and how severe it is. Treatments may include
Moving around as soon as possible after having been confined to your bed, such as after surgery, illness, or injury
Your vascular system is your body's network of blood vessels. It includes your
