Chronic embolism and thrombosis of deep veins of unspecified upper extremity. I82. 729 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 I82.
DVT on chronic anticoagulation therapy. I82. 891 – Chronic embolism and thrombosis of other unspecified vein.
Chronic DVT A clot that is over one to two months old is called "chronic." The clot becomes harder and scars the vein. As a result of this process, the vein becomes much smaller and does not allow blood to flow through effectively.
ICD-10 Code for Acute embolism and thrombosis of unspecified deep veins of lower extremity- I82. 40- Codify by AAPC.
Typically, an acute DVT is considered a new thrombosis that requires the initiation of anticoagulant therapy. A chronic DVT is an old or previously diagnosed thrombus that requires continuation of anticoagulation therapy.

For some people, DVT and PE can become a chronic illness; about 30% of people who have had a DVT or PE are at risk for another episode.
Chronic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) affects hundreds of thousands of women in the United States. Chronic DVT can lead to pain, edema, venous ulcers, and varicosities.
Patients with acute thrombus located in the cava or iliac vessels should primarily be considered for lytic treatment. Patients with popliteal or calf DVT should be anticoagulated. Patients with clinically severe thrombosis that is life, limb or organ threatening should be considered for emergency treatment.

After the initial encounter, including while the patient is on prophylactic therapy, it must be documented and coded as history of. not receiving any treatment, but that has the potential for recurrence, and therefore may require monitoring.”
DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot in a vein, usually the leg. DVT can be dangerous.
Anticoagulation should be initiated if DVT extends into the proximal veins. In patients with acute VTE, surgery should be delayed until 3 months of treatment have elapsed, if possible.

While there are limited data regarding the management of chronic DVT, several interventional radiology groups aggressively treat chronic DVT to aid patient symptom resolution. Recanalization of occluded veins and venous stenting re-establishes deep vein flow and decreases venous hypertension.
For evaluation of extremity veins for venous incompetence or deep vein thrombosis, use CPT codes 93970, duplex scan of extremity veins; complete bilateral study or 93971, unilateral or limited study.
