ICD-9-CM 459.81 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 459.81 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.

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).
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.

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.
Similar to varicose veins seen with superficial veins, chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a condition that occurs when blood pools in the superficial and deep leg veins. CVI can occur with or without the presence of varicose veins. This condition develops when the blood pressure in the veins is abnormally high.
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.
ICD-9-CM is the official system of assigning codes to diagnoses and procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. The ICD-9 was used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates until 1999, when use of ICD-10 for mortality coding started.
ICD9Data.com takes the current ICD-9-CM and HCPCS medical billing codes and adds 5.3+ million links between them. Combine that with a Google-powered search engine, drill-down navigation system and instant coding notes and it's easier than ever to quickly find the medical coding information you need.
Currently, the U.S. is the only industrialized nation still utilizing ICD-9-CM codes for morbidity data, though we have already transitioned to ICD-10 for mortality.

Venous stasis ulcer is also known as dermatitis stasis, peripheral venous insufficiency, stasis dermatitis without varicosities, stasis dermatitis wo varicosities, stasis ulcer lower extremity, stasis ulcer of leg without varicose veins, venous stasis, venous stasis ulcer of leg wo varicose veins, venous stasis ulceration of lower limb, and venous ulcer of leg.
Venous stasis ulcer is a shallow would that occurs on the skin when the veins in the leg do not return blood back to the heart as normal. Symptoms are ulcers forming on the sides of the leg above the ankle and below the calf, the skin becoming dark red or purple over areas that blood is leaking out of the vein and dry, itchy skin.
Venous insufficiency is also known as dermatitis stasis, peripheral venous insufficiency, stasis dermatitis without varicosities, stasis dermatitis wo varicosities, stasis ulcer lower extremity, stasis ulcer of leg without varicose veins, venous stasis, venous stasis ulcer of leg wo varicose veins, venous stasis ulceration of lower limb, and venous ulcer of leg.
Venous insufficiency is when the veins fail to circulate blood properly. This can cause blood to pool in the lower extremities. Symptoms include swelling of the legs or ankles, pain that gets worse when you stand, aching or feeling of heaviness in the legs, weak legs, leg ulcers, feeling of tightness in the calves, and varicose veins.
459.81 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of venous (peripheral) insufficiency, unspecified. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
The following crosswalk between ICD-9 to ICD-10 is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:

The vascular system is the body's network of blood vessels. It includes the arteries, veins and capillaries that carry blood to and from the heart. Problems of the vascular system are common and can be serious. Arteries can become thick and stiff, a problem called atherosclerosis.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
