Chronic venous insufficiency occurs when your leg veins don't allow blood to flow back up to your heart. Normally, the valves in your veins make sure that blood flows toward your heart. But when these valves don't work well, blood can also flow backwards. This can cause blood to collect (pool) in your legs.
Venous Stasis Ulcer w/o varicose vein = I87. 2 per ICD-10 index, which is venous insufficiency.
I87. 332 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 I87. 332 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Lower extremity venous insufficiency, also known as reflux or incompetence, is a condition where the normal one-way return of venous blood back to the heart has been disrupted and blood flow is bidirectional.
ICD-10-CM Code for Venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral) I87. 2.
2: Venous insufficiency (chronic)(peripheral)
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.
The most common types of peripheral venous disease include: Chronic venous insufficiency – This occurs when the walls and/or valves in the veins are not working effectively, making it difficult for blood to return to the heart. Varicose veins – These are gnarled, enlarged veins that usually occur in the legs.
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.
In superficial venous insufficiency, the deep veins are normal, but venous blood escapes from a normal deep system and flows backwards through dilated superficial veins in which the valves have failed.
Primary causes are any changes to your leg veins that prevent them from working as they should. For example, your vein may get too wide, preventing its valve from closing all the way. Secondary causes are other medical issues that damage your leg veins. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is usually the culprit.
The problem also might be related to your heart, liver, or kidneys. If only one leg is swollen, the problem is likely due to venous insufficiency, an infection, an injury, or lymphatic failure. Thus, you need to look for other signs to determine if it's venous insufficiency.

Venous insufficiency is a problem with the flow of blood from the veins of the legs back to the heart. It's also called chronic venous insufficiency or chronic venous stasis. Your veins bring blood back to the heart after it flows through your body.
Venous stasis involves an inflammation of the skin in the lower legs as a result of chronic venous insufficiency. If the valves or walls of the veins in the legs are not working properly, it is difficult for blood to circulate from the legs back to the heart.
Maybe you've heard “chronic venous insufficiency” and “chronic venous stasis” used interchangeably. That's because both terms refer to the same vascular disorder. Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) refers to a number of conditions related to abnormal blood flow in the legs veins.

The ICD code I83 is used to code Varicose veins. Varicose veins are veins that have become enlarged and twisted. The term commonly refers to the veins on the leg, although varicose veins can occur elsewhere. Veins have pairs of leaflet valves to prevent blood from flowing backwards (retrograde flow or venous reflux).
Veins have pairs of leaflet valves to prevent blood from flowing backwards (retrograde flow or venous reflux). Leg muscles pump the veins to return blood to the heart (the skeletal-muscle pump), against the effects of gravity.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code I83 is a non-billable code.
Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here."
Severe long-standing varicose veins can lead to leg swelling, venous eczema, skin thickening (lipodermatosclerosis) and ulceration. Life-threatening complications are uncommon, but varicose veins may be confused with deep vein thrombosis, which may be life-threatening. Specialty: Plastic Surgery.
Besides being a cosmetic problem, varicose veins can be painful, especially when standing. Severe long-standing varicose veins can lead to leg swelling, venous eczema, skin thickening (lipodermatosclerosis) and ulceration.
