I83.02Varicose veins of left lower extremity with ulcer

I83.02 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for varicose veins of left lower extremity with ulcer. It belongs to category I83 (varicose veins of lower extremities), block I80-I89 (diseases of veins, lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes, not elsewhere classified) and chapter 9 (diseases of the circulatory system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 7 subcodes must be used instead.

Within I83.0 (varicose veins of lower extremities with ulcer), I83.02 is specifically for varicose veins of left lower extremity with ulcer. Related codes cover unspecified lower extremity with ulcer (I83.00) and right lower extremity with ulcer (I83.01).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: I83.021 (of thigh), I83.022 (of calf), I83.023 (of ankle), I83.024 (of heel and midfoot), I83.025 (other part of foot), I83.028 (other part of lower leg) and I83.029 (of unspecified site).

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