I82.711 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for chronic embolism and thrombosis of superficial veins of right 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. Coders also document this condition as chronic thrombosis of superficial vein of right upper extremity. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Chronic phlebitis; thrombophlebitis and thromboembolism.

Questions About I82.711Overview

Is I82.711 a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report chronic embolism and thrombosis of superficial veins of right upper extremity on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does I82.711 group to?

When chronic embolism and thrombosis of superficial veins of right 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 I82.711 a CC or MCC?

CMS lists I82.711 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.

Can I82.711 be reported with Z86.718?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at I82.7, which applies to I82.711, lists "personal history of venous embolism and thrombosis (Z86.718)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).

Does I82.711 need an additional code?

When the condition applies, yes. The Use Additional Code note at I82.7, which applies to I82.711, reads: code, if applicable, for associated long-term (current) use of anticoagulants (Z79.01). The additional code is reported after I82.711.
