About I87.8
I87.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified disorders of veins. 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 billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Within I87, choose I87.8 (Other specified disorders of veins) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Postthrombotic syndrome (I87.0), compression of vein (I87.1), venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral) (I87.2), chronic venous hypertension (idiopathic) (I87.3) and disorder of vein, unspecified (I87.9).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 302 (Atherosclerosis with MCC, relative weight 1.1984) and DRG 303 (Atherosclerosis without MCC, relative weight 0.6612), in MDC 05 (Diseases and Disorders of the Circulatory System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 459.89 (other specified disorders of circulatory system).
