Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Venous Insufficiency

    impaired venous blood flow or venous return (venous stasis), usually caused by inadequate venous valves. venous insufficiency often occurs in the legs, and is associated with edema and sometimes with venous stasis ulcers at the ankle.

  • Venous Insufficiency

    a condition in which there is inadequate blood flow through a vein.

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Inclusion Terms

Inclusion Terms
These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
  • Stasis dermatitis

Code Also

Code Also
A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
  • , if applicable, associated hypertensive conditions such as:
  • essential primary hypertension I10
  • hypertensive chronic kidney disease I12
  • hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease I13
  • hypertensive heart disease I11

Use Additional Code

Use Additional Code
The “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.
  • code, if applicable, to specify site and severity of ulcer L97

Type 1 Excludes

Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
  • stasis dermatitis with varicose veins of lower extremities I83.1 I83.2

Index to Diseases and Injuries References

The following annotation back-references for this diagnosis code are found in the injuries and diseases index. The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10-CM code(s).
