About I75

I75 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Atheroembolism. It belongs to block I70-I79 (diseases of arteries, arterioles and capillaries) and chapter 9 (diseases of the circulatory system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: I75.0 (of extremities) and I75.8 (of other sites).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
