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). Of note, for the purposes of this clinical flyer the term peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is used synonymously with PAD.

If the varicose veins are truly asymptomatic, there is no swelling of the ankles and no skin damage or itching, it is possible to leave the varicose veins alone at the current time although, it will continue to deteriorate.
Varicose veins are dilated superficial veins in the lower extremities. Usually, no cause is obvious. Varicose veins are typically asymptomatic but may cause a sense of fullness, pressure, and pain or hyperesthesia in the legs. Diagnosis is by physical examination.
So what causes varicosities? The primary function of any vein is to pump or carry blood from the extremities of the body back to the heart. Each vein contains a vein valve and this ensures that any blood flows in one direction (upwards) back towards the heart.
Z86.79 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of personal history of other diseases of the circulatory system. The code Z86.79 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code Z86.79 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like attends hypertension monitoring, h/o ventricular fibrillation, h/o: angina in last year, h/o: angina pectoris, h/o: aortic aneurysm , h/o: atrial fibrillation, etc. The code is exempt from present on admission (POA) reporting for inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals.#N#The code Z86.79 describes a circumstance which influences the patient's health status but not a current illness or injury. The code is unacceptable as a principal diagnosis.
Z86.79 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.

Sometimes you may need additional tests. Exercising, losing weight, elevating your legs when resting, and not crossing them when sitting can help keep varicose veins from getting worse. Wearing loose clothing and avoiding long periods of standing can also help.
Unspecified diagnosis codes like I83.819 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition.
