About I83.89

I83.89 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for varicose veins of lower extremities with other complications. 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within I83.8, choose I83.89 (other complications) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: pain (I83.81).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: I83.891 (complications), I83.892 (complications), I83.893 (complications) and I83.899 (complications).

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