Intermittent claudication due to atherosclerosis of native artery of limb ICD-10-CM I70.219 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v 38.0): 299 Peripheral vascular disorders with mcc
If the description is atherosclerosis with claudication (extremity), use 440.21. 729.5 for leg pain. If the doctor does not state claudication and nonvascular leg pain, you do not need to report 729.5. Claudication by definition is cramping and pain in the legs brought on by walking and releived with rest.

The diagnosis for claudication is 443.9 which is pvd.
Claudication is pain in your thigh, calf, or buttocks that happens when you walk. It can make you limp. It may be a symptom of peripheral artery disease (PAD). This is when narrowed or blocked arteries reduce the blood flow to your legs.
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 (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).
Intermittent claudication is pain affecting the calf, and less commonly the thigh and buttock, that is induced by exercise and relieved by rest. Symptom severity varies from mild to severe. Intermittent claudication occurs as a result of muscle ischaemia during exercise caused by obstruction to arterial flow.
There are five arteries in each leg that you'll examine in a routine ultrasound study:Common femoral artery (CFA)Superficial femoral artery (SFA)Popliteal artery.Posterior tibial artery (PTA)Dorsalis pedis artery (DPA)
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).
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.
Claudication occurs when there's not enough blood flow to the muscles you're using. In PVD, the narrowed vessels can only supply a limited amount of blood. This causes more problems during activity than at rest. As your PAD progresses, symptoms will occur more frequently and get worse.
Intermittent claudication is the most typical symptom of PAD. About one third to one half of people with PAD have this symptom. Symptoms may be described as pain, ache, cramping, a sense of fatigue, or nonspecific discomfort that occurs with exercise. There is no discomfort while standing.
