Varicose veins of lower extremities (I83) ICD-10-CM
The I83 code range covers varicose veins of lower extremities with 71 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 57 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2026, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the I83 range.
Livedo Reticularis
A condition characterized by a reticular or fishnet pattern on the skin of lower extremities and other parts of the body. This red and blue pattern is due to deoxygenated blood in unstable dermal blood vessels. The condition is intensified by cold exposure and relieved by rewarming.
Livedoid Vasculopathy
A rare cutaneous thrombotic disease due to occlusion of dermal vessels. It is characterized by purpuric maculae and ulcerations especially during summer which form scars called atrophie blanche. It is more associated with other syndromes (e.g., PROTEIN C DEFICIENCY; HYPERHOMOCYSTEINEMIA). Livedo reticularis with systemic involvement and stroke is SNEDDON SYNDROME.
Skin Pigmentation
Coloration of the skin.
Sneddon Syndrome
A systemic non-inflammatory arteriopathy primarily of middle-aged females characterized by the association of LIVEDO RETICULARIS, multiple thrombotic CEREBRAL INFARCTION; CORONARY DISEASE, and HYPERTENSION. Elevation of antiphospholipid antibody titers (see also ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME), cardiac valvulopathy, ISCHEMIC ATTACK, TRANSIENT; SEIZURES; DEMENTIA; and chronic ischemia of the extremities may also occur. Pathologic examination of affected arteries reveals non-inflammatory adventitial fibrosis, thrombosis, and changes in the media (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Syndromes & Eponymic Diseases, 2d ed; Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p861; Arch Neurol 1997 Jan;54(1):53-60). Mutations in the CECR1 gene (ADA2 protein, human) are associated with Sneddon syndrome.
About the I83 Code Range
ICD-10 code I83 covers varicose veins of the lower extremities, which involves enlarged, twisted veins in the legs. These codes specify whether complications like ulcers, inflammation, pain, or other issues are present and on which leg(s) they occur.
This section includes codes for various conditions related to varicose veins in the lower legs. Codes such as I83.0 identify varicose veins with ulcers, including detailed sites like thigh, calf, ankle, and foot, with terms like "varicose ulcer of ankle" guiding coders to the precise code. Those dealing with inflammation, such as phlebitis or lipodermatosclerosis, use codes like I83.1. When both ulcers and inflammation are present, more specific codes like I83.2 apply. Complications including pain (I83.81) or other related issues are also categorized distinctly. Asymptomatic cases without symptoms are found under I83.9. Knowing these variations helps medical professionals accurately code and track conditions involving venous insufficiency and their complications in the legs.
