A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. Venous ulcers (venous insufficiency ulceration, stasis ulcers, stasis dermatitis, varicose ulcers, or ulcus cruris) are wounds that are thought to occur due to improper functioning of venous valves, usually of the legs (hence leg ulcers).:846

ICD-9 code 454.8 for Varicose veins of lower extremities with other complications is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -DISEASES OF VEINS AND LYMPHATICS, AND OTHER DISEASES OF CIRCULATORY SYSTEM (451-459).

Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins. Any vein that is close to the skin's surface (superficial) can become varicosed. Varicose veins most commonly affect the veins in the legs. That's because standing and walking increase the pressure in the veins of the lower body.
Varicose veins of other specified sites I86. 8 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I86. 8 became effective on October 1, 2021.

ICD-10-CM Code for Venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral) I87. 2.
The terms varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) are often used interchangeably. But in fact, CVI refers to a broader range of vascular disorders than just swollen veins. You can have CVI but not see varicose veins on your legs or feet. Chronic venous insufficiency is also called venous reflux.
Lipodermatosclerosis refers to changes in the skin of the lower legs. It is a form of panniculitis (inflammation of the layer of fat under the skin).
Varicose veins are caused by increased blood pressure in the veins. Varicose veins happen in the veins near the surface of the skin (superficial). The blood moves towards the heart by one-way valves in the veins. When the valves become weakened or damaged, blood can collect in the veins.
So, why are varicose veins common on the left side? Due to the way the blood is pumped from the heart, there are more veins in the left leg. Therefore, the odds of a varicose vein are more likely. There are other issues that can have an impact on the left legs being more prone.
Veins. The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. Systemic veins carry low-oxygen blood from the body to the right atrium of the heart.
Venous ulcers (venous insufficiency ulceration, stasis ulcers, stasis dermatitis, varicose ulcers, or ulcus cruris) are wounds that are thought to occur due to improper functioning of venous valves, usually of the leg s (hence leg ulcers).:846 . They are the major occurrence of chronic wounds, occurring in 70% to 90% of leg ulcer cases.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code I83.028 and a single ICD9 code, 454.0 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
