Peripheral vascular disease, unspecified I73. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
9: Peripheral vascular disease, unspecified.
Poor circulation is when there is inadequate blood flow to certain areas of the body, in particular the legs and feet. This is called peripheral vascular disease or peripheral artery disease. Your arteries deliver oxygen-rich blood from your heart to other parts of your body including your arms and legs.

ICD-10-CM Code for Peripheral vascular disease, unspecified I73. 9.
I87. 2 - Venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral). ICD-10-CM.
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.
What is peripheral vascular disease? Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a slow and progressive circulation disorder. Narrowing, blockage, or spasms in a blood vessel can cause PVD. PVD may affect any blood vessel outside of the heart including the arteries, veins, or lymphatic vessels.
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).
A common type of PVD is venous insufficiency, which occurs when the valves in the leg veins don't shut properly during blood's return to the heart. As a result, blood flows backward and pools in the veins.

Computed tomography (CT) perfusion imaging provides a quantitative measurement of regional cerebral blood flow. Cerebral perfusion analysis is used in neuroradiology to assess tissue level perfusion and delivery of blood to the brain and/or tissues of the head. A perfusion CT study involves sequential acquisition of CT sections during intravenous administration of an iodinated contrast agent. The procedure involves injecting a contrast agent into the individual. The blood carries the contrast agent to the brain and the rate at which it accumulates in the brain is detected by a CT scanner. Analysis of the results allows the physician to calculate the regional cerebral blood volume, the blood mean transit time through the cerebral capillaries, and the regional cerebral blood flow.
Computed tomography perfusion imaging has been proposed to be used primarily as a method of evaluating patients suspected of having an acute stroke whenever thrombolysis is considered. Computed tomography perfusion imaging may provide information about the presence and site of vascular occlusion, the presence and extent of ischemia, and about tissue viability. This information may help the clinician determine whether thrombolysis is appropriate.
The authors stated that the main limitation of this study was the restricted slice number during acquisition of perfusion images as only 4 cm of tissue of interest could be imaged with the 64-slice CT scanner. Thus, the whole tumor volume could not be imaged in full. In addition, the limited region of interest might have been “non-representative” of whole tumor perfusion, especially in large and heterogeneous lesions. Finally, a relatively small sample size for each of the conditions was another drawback of the study.
Aetna considers cerebral CT perfusion studies experimental and investigational for the following indications because there is inadequate scientific evidence to support its use for these indications (not an all-inclusive list): Confirmation of brain death. Differentiation of lung cancer from benign lesions.
Straka et al (2010) noted that diffusion-perfusion mismatch can be used to identify acute stroke patients that could benefit from re-perfusion therapies. Early assessment of the mismatch facilitates necessary diagnosis and treatment decisions in acute stroke. These researchers developed the RApid processing of PerfusIon and Diffusion (RAPID) for unsupervised, fully automated processing of perfusion and diffusion data for the purpose of expedited routine clinical assessment. The RAPID system computes quantitative perfusion maps (CBV, CBF, MTT, and the time until the residue function reaches its peak [T (max)] using deconvolution of tissue and arterial signals. Diffusion-weighted imaging/perfusion-weighted imaging (DWI/PWI) mismatch is automatically determined using infarct core segmentation of ADC maps and perfusion deficits segmented from T (max) maps. The performance of RAPID was evaluated on 63 acute stroke cases, in which diffusion and perfusion lesion volumes were outlined by both a human reader and the RAPID system. The correlation of outlined lesion volumes obtained from both methods was r (2) = 0.99 for DWI and r (2) = 0.96 for PWI. For mismatch identification, RAPID showed 100 % sensitivity and 91 % specificity. The mismatch information is made available on the hospital's PACS within 5 to 7 mins. Results indicate that the automated system is sufficiently accurate and fast enough to be used for routine care as well as in clinical trials.
Current literature on CT perfusion imaging has focused on its feasibility and technical capabilities. Prospective clinical studies are needed to determine the clinical value of CT perfusion imaging over standard non-contrast computed tomography in the assessment of patients with symptoms suggestive of acute stroke, and in the triage of patients in whom thrombolytic therapy is contemplated.
Furthermore, no recommendation can be made for the use of CT perfusion in patients with chronic ischemia, vasospasm, head trauma, or as part of the balloon occlusion test, the traditional method for identifying patients at risk for stroke.
Use ICD-10 code Z01.810 for those tests which were performed to evaluate pre-operative risk (see Indications section in the LCD) but for whom the test was negative. (A positive test should be coded with the results of the test.)

When billing for the purchase of radiopharmaceutical (s), a copy of the bill indicating the dosage administered, unit price per dose, name and total charge of the radiopharmaceutical must be on file in the patient's medical record and available on request.
When a blood pool scan is performed to assess ejection fraction prior to implantation of defibrillator or biventricular pacemaker, the record must document the intended plan for insertion and the result of the test.
Risk assessment or re-evaluation of disease in patients who are asymptomatic or have stable symptoms, with known atherosclerotic heart disease on catheterization or SPECT perfusion imaging, who have not had a revascularization procedure within the past two years would be reimbursable; otherwise tests repeated in the absence of changes in cardiac signs or symptoms will be considered not medically necessary.
