Chronic venous hypertension (idiopathic) with ulcer of unspecified lower extremity. I87.319 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 I87.319 became effective on October 1, 2018.
Stasis dermatitis (also known as gravitational dermatitis, venous eczema, and venous stasis dermatitis) causes a red, itchy, scaly rash on the lower extremities. The condition most often occurs when there’s insufficient blood flow and decreased circulation to the veins in one or both of the legs.
Treatments for stasis dermatitis could include the following:
When stasis dermatitis becomes severe, other symptoms may develop as well, including:

I87. 2 - Venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral). ICD-10-CM.
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a condition that occurs when the venous wall and/or valves in the leg veins are not working effectively, making it difficult for blood to return to the heart from the legs. CVI causes blood to “pool” or collect in these veins, and this pooling is called stasis.
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.
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.
ICD-10 | Venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral) (I87. 2)
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.
Stasis dermatitis is the most common mimic of cellulitis. having cellulitis do not have cellulitis. 1 This is unfortunate, as it leads to excessive and incorrect use of antibiotics and to delays in ap- propriate therapy.
Lipodermatosclerosis can come into effect and the skin can take on a bumpy appearance with a dark brown color. Stasis Dermatitis is often a chronic condition. Both of these conditions have been associated with obesity and heart problems, but it is not completely clear what causes them.
Common signs and symptoms of stasis dermatitis include: Thickened, discolored (reddish) skin on the ankles or shins. Itching. Open sores, oozing and crusting.
Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is an overarching term that encompasses vascular diseases that result from circulatory dysfunction caused by damage to arteries or veins. The most common types of PVD are peripheral artery disease (PAD), chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Like chronic venous insufficiency, chronic venous obstruction hinders the blood flow from your legs to your heart, but the reason is different. In chronic venous obstruction, it's not the valves that are slowing the flow, but blockage in other parts of the veins.
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.
Several surgical procedures are available to treat the wound directly or address an underlying problem, including:
Wound care is an important part of treatment for venous ulcers. The goal of wound care management is to encourage the ulcers to heal more quickly. This includes:
The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10 code. The following references for the code L97.909 are found in the index:
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
I87.2 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral) . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .

Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.
