I82.629 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for acute embolism and thrombosis of deep veins of unspecified upper extremity. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 299 through 301. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 201 closely related codes. The code is flagged as an unspecified code, since codes identifying laterality exist in the same family. Coders also document this condition as acute deep vein thrombosis of upper extremity following coronary artery bypass graft. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Acute phlebitis; thrombophlebitis and thromboembolism.
For Medicare Advantage risk adjustment, I82.629 maps to CMS-HCC Category 267 (Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism) under the V28 model, adding a risk factor of about 0.294 for a community, non-dual, aged beneficiary in payment year 2027.

Patient EducationClinical
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.

Questions About I82.629Overview
Is I82.629 a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report acute embolism and thrombosis of deep veins of unspecified upper extremity on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does I82.629 group to?
When acute embolism and thrombosis of deep veins of unspecified upper extremity is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 301, 300, 299, with relative weights from 0.7132 to 1.5840 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is I82.629 a CC or MCC?
CMS lists I82.629 as a CC (complication or comorbidity) for FY 2027. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it moves the inpatient stay to a higher-weighted DRG within its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 201 closely related codes in its exclusion list.
What is coded first with I82.629?
The Code First note at I82, which applies to I82.629, reads: venous embolism and thrombosis complicating: abortion, ectopic or molar pregnancy (O00-O07, O08.7); pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O22.-, O87.-). When one of these applies, it is sequenced before I82.629.
What is the ICD-9 equivalent of I82.629?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, acute embolism and thrombosis of deep veins of unspecified upper extremity converts to ICD-9-CM 453.82 (ac DVT/embl up ext). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.
What HCC is I82.629?
I82.629 (acute embolism and thrombosis of deep veins of unspecified upper extremity) maps to CMS-HCC Category 267 (Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism), commonly written as HCC 267, in the CMS-HCC V28 model used for Medicare Advantage risk adjustment in payment year 2027. It mapped to HCC 108 under the retired V24 model. It also maps in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22), ESRD (V21), and ESRD (V24) models. In the Part D prescription drug model it maps to RxHCC 215.
Does I82.629 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?
Yes. When documented and reported on a Medicare Advantage encounter, I82.629 adds a risk adjustment factor of about 0.294 to the beneficiary's RAF score for a community, non-dual, aged enrollee (published V28 weights range from 0.245 to 0.568 depending on the payment segment). HCC 267 sits at the top of its hierarchy, so no other condition category supersedes it. See the full factor table on the HCC 267 category page.
