ANSWER: Depending on the documentation, you can report ICD-9-CM code 454.0 for the stasis ulcer with varicose veins or code 454.2 for a stasis ulcer that is inflamed or infected. Furthermore, what is a venous skin ulcer?
Documentation and coding include: Varicose veins of the right lower extremity with both ulcer and inflammation on the calf, I83.212 Severity: nonpressure chronic ulcer of right lower calf with fat layer exposed, L97.222
The stasis ulcer caused by venous insufficiency is captured first with the code for underlying disease (459.81) followed by the code for the location of the ulcer (707.13).
Venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral) I87. 2 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. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
Chronic venous hypertension (idiopathic) with ulcer of left lower extremity. I87. 312 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.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) happens when your leg veins become damaged and can't work as they should. Normally, valves in your leg veins keep blood flowing back up to your heart. But CVI damages those valves, causing blood to pool in your legs.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) both affect your blood vessels and prevent your body from getting the oxygen-rich blood that it needs. The difference between the two lies in the type of blood vessel that isn't working correctly.
High blood pressure in the leg veins over time, due to sitting or standing for long periods. Lack of exercise. Smoking. A blood clot in a deep vein, often in the calf or thigh (deep vein thrombosis)
SymptomsSwelling or heaviness, especially in the lower leg and ankle.Pain.Itchiness.Varicose veins (twisted, enlarged veins close to the surface of the skin)Skin that looks like leather.
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.
Venous stasis syndrome related to DVT is due to venous outflow obstruction and venous valvular incompetence, while venous stasis syndrome related to older age and to varicose veins is due to venous outflow obstruction and to venous valvular incompetence, respectively.
Venous stasis dermatitis happens when there's a problem with your veins, usually in your lower legs, that keeps blood from moving through very well. As more fluid and pressure build, some of the blood leaks out of your veins and into your skin. The condition is also called venous eczema or stasis dermatitis.
Left untreated, these damaged veins can cause serious complications, such as ulcers, bleeding, and a potentially fatal condition called deep vein thrombosis.
Your doctor may recommend that you walk, ride a stationary bicycle, or jog for 30 minutes several times a week. Being active helps improve circulation and tones muscles in your legs. This can help pump blood toward the heart. Stretching your calf and thigh muscles can also help improve blood flow.
First, I want to be clear that there is no way to actually reverse the cause of venous insufficiency, only the symptoms. Damaged valves inside the vein cannot be repaired, but there are plenty of ways to minimize the impact of the reflux they cause. Many of my patients do eventually become symptom-free.
When the walls or valves of the veins are weak or dont work properly, blood in the veins can flow backwards and pool in your legs. Valve problems can result from vein disorders such as chronic venous insufficiency or deep vein thrombosis .
The General Equivalency Mapping crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code I83.019 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Two layers of skin created from animal sources as a skin graft has been found to be useful in venous leg ulcers.
Which treatment you get depends on which vascular disease you have and how severe it is. Types of treatments for vascular diseases include
VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY-. impaired venous blood flow or venous return venous stasis usually caused by inadequate venous valves. venous insufficiency often occurs in the legs and is associated with edema and sometimes with venous stasis ulcers at the ankle.
FY 2016 - New Code, effective from 10/1/2015 through 9/30/2016 (First year ICD-10-CM implemented into the HIPAA code set)
