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.
Venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral)
This condition does not go away on its own. Without treatment, venous insufficiency can lead to serious complications. For example, if the swelling in your ankles and legs becomes severe, you can develop ulcers and chronic wounds.

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.
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.

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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Venous stasis syndrome is typically considered a long-term sequel of deep vein thrombosis (DVT; also known as post-thrombotic syndrome or post-phlebitic syndrome in the post-DVT setting). The cumulative incidence of venous stasis syndrome after DVT is 20–50%, with a third being severe venous stasis syndrome4–9.
ICD-10 code I73. 9 for Peripheral vascular disease, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
ICD-10-CM Code for Edema, unspecified R60. 9.
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.

Chronic venous hypertension (idiopathic) 1 I87.3 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM I87.3 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I87.3 - other international versions of ICD-10 I87.3 may differ.
