Provider's guide to diagnose and code PAD Peripheral Artery Disease (ICD-10 code I73. 9) is estimated to affect 12 to 20% of Americans age 65 and older with as many as 75% of that group being asymptomatic (Rogers et al, 2011).
Atherosclerosis of native arteries of the extremities ICD-10-CM I70. 219 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 299 Peripheral vascular disorders with mcc. 300 Peripheral vascular disorders with cc.

9: Peripheral vascular disease, unspecified.
Atherosclerosis of the extremities is a disease of the peripheral blood vessels that is characterized by narrowing and hardening of the arteries that supply the legs and feet. The narrowing of the arteries causes a decrease in blood flow.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is often used interchangeably with the term “peripheral vascular disease (PVD).” The term “PAD” is recommended to describe this condition because it includes venous in addition to arterial disorders.
Clogging or narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the heart can occur not only in the heart's largest arteries (the coronary arteries) but also in the heart's smaller blood vessels. Small vessel disease is a condition in which the walls of the small arteries in the heart aren't working properly.

INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITIONS Acute limb ischemia is defined as a quickly developing or sudden decrease in limb perfusion, usually producing new or worsening symptoms or signs, and often threatening limb viability [1].
Chronic limb-threatening ischemia occurs when you have severely blocked blood flow to your hands, legs or feet. It is an advanced stage of peripheral artery disease. Critical limb ischemia significantly increases your risk of heart problems and a shorter lifespan.
Atherosclerosis of native arteries of the extremities. Approximate Synonyms. Atherosclerosis of bilateral legs with intermittent claudication. Atherosclerosis of both leg native arteries with intermittent claudication. Intermittent claudication of bilateral lower limbs co-occurrent and due to atherosclerosis.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I70.213 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Type-2 Excludes means the excluded conditions are different, although they may appear similar. A patient may have both conditions, but one does not include the other. Excludes 2 means "not coded here."
The ICD code I702 is used to code Gangrene. Gangrene (or gangrenous necrosis) is a type of necrosis caused by a critically insufficient blood supply. This potentially life-threatening condition may occur after an injury or infection, or in people suffering from any chronic health problem affecting blood circulation.
Use Additional Code note means a second code must be used in conjunction with this code. Codes with this note are Etiology codes and must be followed by a Manifestation code or codes.
It affects about 8.5 million Americans over the age of 40 and those who smoke or have diabetes are at a higher risk.1,2 “Peripheral arterial disease (PAD),” “peripheral vascular disease (PVD)”, “spasm of artery” and “intermittent claudication” are coded as I73.9. It is important to note that this code excludes atherosclerosis of the extremities (I70.2- – I70.7-). When atherosclerosis (arteriosclerosis) is diagnosed by the clinician, the progress note should state “arteriosclerosis of” and the site including laterality, “arteriosclerotic” or “arteriosclerosis with” followed by the symptom or complication (for example, arteriosclerosis of the legs with intermittent claudication bilaterally). Arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis may be used interchangeably for documentation and coding purposes. Documentation of arteriosclerosis that lacks specificity is coded as I70.90.
ICD-10-CM presumes a causal relationship between “diabetes” with “peripheral angiopathy.” These conditions should be coded as related even in the absence of provider documentation explicitly linking them, unless documentation clearly states the conditions are unrelated. If the patient has atherosclerosis of native arteries of extremities, use an additional code to provide additional details such as laterality and manifestations.
Atherosclerotic disease is a progressive disease. Therefore, avoid documenting “history of peripheral vascular disease” and instead consider “known peripheral arterial disease.” In support of such documentation, providers can use a Z code for patients who have had peripheral arterial bypass (Z95.828 Presence of other vascular implants and grafts) in addition to the ICD-10-CM code for PAD, I73.9.
