About I87.3
I87.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for chronic venous hypertension (idiopathic). It belongs to category I87 (other disorders of veins), 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 5 subcodes must be used instead.
Within I87 (other disorders of veins), I87.3 is specifically for chronic venous hypertension (idiopathic). Related codes cover Postthrombotic syndrome (I87.0), compression of vein (I87.1), venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral) (I87.2), other specified disorders of veins (I87.8) and disorder of vein, unspecified (I87.9).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: I87.30 (without complications), I87.31 (with ulcer), I87.32 (with inflammation), I87.33 (with ulcer and inflammation) and I87.39 (with other complications).
Don't report I87.3 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: chronic venous hypertension due to deep vein thrombosis (I87.0-) and varicose veins of lower extremities (I83.-).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
