Specific Coding Applicable to Embolism and thrombosis of other specified veins

Non-specific codes like I82.8 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for embolism and thrombosis of other specified veins:

  • I82.81 for Embolism and thrombosis of superficial veins of lower extremities - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use I82.811 for Embolism and thrombosis of superficial veins of right lower extremity - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use I82.812 for Embolism and thrombosis of superficial veins of left lower extremity - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use I82.813 for Embolism and thrombosis of superficial veins of lower extremities, bilateral - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use I82.819 for Embolism and thrombosis of superficial veins of unspecified lower extremity - BILLABLE CODE

  • I82.89 for Embolism and thrombosis of other specified veins - NON-BILLABLE CODE

Patient Education


Deep Vein Thrombosis

Deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, is a blood clot that forms in a vein deep in the body. Most deep vein clots occur in the lower leg or thigh. If the vein swells, the condition is called thrombophlebitis. A deep vein thrombosis can break loose and cause a serious problem in the lung, called a pulmonary embolism.

Sitting still for a long time can make you more likely to get a DVT. Some medicines and disorders that increase your risk for blood clots can also lead to DVTs. Common symptoms are :

  • Warmth and tenderness over the vein
  • Pain or swelling in the part of the body affected
  • Skin redness

Treatment includes medicines to ease pain and inflammation, break up clots and keep new clots from forming. Keeping the affected area raised and applying moist heat can also help. If you are taking a long car or plane trip, take a break, walk or stretch your legs and drink plenty of liquids.
