The diagnosis for claudication is 443.9 which is pvd.
Claudication is pain in the legs or arms that occurs while walking or using the arms. The pain is caused by too little blood flow to the legs or arms. Claudication is usually a symptom of peripheral artery disease, in which the arteries that supply blood to the arms or legs, usually the legs, are narrowed.
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.
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).
The CPT code is 93668, under Peripheral Arterial Disease Rehabilitation. A list of appropriate ICD-10 codes for SET are listed in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual and MLN Matters (MM 10295).
PAD, PVD, and intermittent claudication not otherwise specified are classified to ICD-9-CM code 443.9, which also includes peripheral angiopathy not otherwise specified and spasm of artery.
When a patient has a history of cerebrovascular disease without any sequelae or late effects, ICD-10 code Z86. 73 should be assigned.
There are two types of claudication: neurogenic and vascular. Neurogenic claudication occurs because of narrowing in the spinal canal (stenosis) causing pressure on the spinal nerves. Vascular claudication results from blood flow that cannot match increased demand of muscles in oxygen during walking.
Venous claudication occurs when there is severe restriction of blood flow out of the leg. It causes severe thigh and leg tightness and pain with exercise. The pain typically takes 20-30 minutes of rest to resolve. Leg elevation can improve the time it takes to relieve the pain.
If the ankle pressure reading is lower than the arm reading by a wide enough margin, that may mean you have claudication in one or both legs. In many cases, healthcare providers will measure those pressures, have you walk on a treadmill, and then take the measurements again after you finish walking.
