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 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM I87.2 became effective on October 1, 2018.
When you experience inflammation in your legs, it usually has to do with the circulation of the blood throughout your body. Due to varicose veins, blood is pooling up in the veins in your legs, and one of the significant symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency disease is swelling of the legs and ankles.
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
What is an ICD-10 diagnosis code? The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States.
Venous insufficiency symptoms occur when your leg veins can’t do this effectively and blood pools in your legs instead of flowing upward toward your heart. About 40% of all Americans have chronic venous insufficiency. Causes and risk factors include genetics, obesity, pregnancy and hypertension (high blood pressure).
Chronic venous hypertension (idiopathic) without complications of unspecified lower extremity. I87. 309 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.
Rationale: 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).

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.
Chronic venous hypertension occurs when there's increased pressure inside your veins. The term chronic venous hypertension is a medical term for what is more descriptively called chronic venous insufficiency.
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.
Venipuncture is the collection of blood from a vein. It is most often done for laboratory testing.
The documentation should refer to the written lab order by date and location (e.g., “in the 8/31/16 progress note”) and list the date of venipuncture, time, site, and patient tolerance of the procedure.
If a venipuncture performed in the office setting requires the skill of a physician for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, the performing physician can bill Medicare both for the collection – using CPT code 36410 – and for the lab work performed in-office.
Question: When coding the placement of an infusion device such as a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC line), the code assignment for the body part is based on the site in which the device ended up (end placement). For coding purposes, can imaging reports be used to determine the end placement of the device?
Question: ...venous access port. An incision was made in the anterior chest wall and a subcutaneous pocket was created. The catheter was advanced into the vein, tunneled under the skin and attached to the port, which was anchored in the subcutaneous pocket. The incision was closed in layers.
Question: In Coding Clinic, Fourth Quarter 2013, pages 116- 117, information was published about the device character for the insertion of a totally implantable central venous access device (port-a-cath). Although we agree with the device value, the approach value is inaccurate.
Question: A patient diagnosed with Stage IIIC ovarian cancer underwent placement of an intraperitoneal port-a-catheter during total abdominal hysterectomy. An incision on the costal margin in the midclavicular line on the right side was made, and a pocket was formed. A port was then inserted within the pocket and secured with stitches.
Question: The patient has a malfunctioning right internal jugular tunneled catheter. At surgery, the old catheter was removed and a new one placed. Under ultrasound guidance, the jugular was cannulated; the cuff of the old catheter was dissected out; and the entire catheter removed.
A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( I82) and the excluded code together.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
