Venous Stasis Dermatitis ICD-10-CM Codes

What ICD-10 Codes are Used for Venous Stasis Dermatitis?

Venous Stasis Dermatitis, a skin condition often associated with chronic venous insufficiency, is classified by specific ICD-10-CM codes. Here are ten commonly used codes for Venous Stasis Dermatitis, along with brief clinical descriptions:

I83.009 - Varicose veins of unspecified lower extremity with ulcer of unspecified site: Used for venous stasis dermatitis associated with varicose veins in an unspecified lower extremity and an ulcer of unspecified site.

I83.019 - Varicose veins of unspecified lower extremity with other specified complications: Applied for venous stasis dermatitis with varicose veins in an unspecified lower extremity and other specified complications.

I83.029 - Varicose veins of unspecified lower extremity with ulcer of calf: Utilized for venous stasis dermatitis with varicose veins in an unspecified lower extremity and an ulcer of the calf.

I83.039 - Varicose veins of unspecified lower extremity with ulcer of other part of lower extremity: Used when venous stasis dermatitis is associated with varicose veins in an unspecified lower extremity and an ulcer in a different part of the lower extremity.

I87.2 - Venous insufficiency (chronic) (peripheral): For venous stasis dermatitis associated with chronic peripheral venous insufficiency.

L97.309 - Non-pressure chronic ulcer of unspecified part of lower leg with unspecified severity: Applied when venous stasis dermatitis results in a non-pressure chronic ulcer of an unspecified part of the lower leg with unknown severity.

L97.319 - Non-pressure chronic ulcer of unspecified part of lower leg with breakthrough skin: Used for venous stasis dermatitis leading to a non-pressure chronic ulcer of an unspecified part of the lower leg with skin breakdown.

L97.329 - Non-pressure chronic ulcer of unspecified part of lower leg with fat layer exposed: Utilized when venous stasis dermatitis results in a non-pressure chronic ulcer of an unspecified part of the lower leg with the fat layer exposed.

L97.409 - Non-pressure chronic ulcer of unspecified part of lower leg with unspecified severity: For venous stasis dermatitis leading to a non-pressure chronic ulcer of an unspecified part of the lower leg with unknown severity.

L97.419 - Non-pressure chronic ulcer of unspecified part of lower leg with breakthrough skin: Applied when venous stasis dermatitis results in a non-pressure chronic ulcer of an unspecified part of the lower leg with skin breakdown.

Clinical Information

• Venous stasis dermatitis is a skin condition that occurs due to impaired venous circulation, often in the lower legs.
• It results from chronic venous insufficiency, where damaged vein valves lead to blood pooling in the legs.
• Symptoms include redness, swelling, itching, and skin changes such as darkening, thickening, or developing venous ulcers.
• Diagnosis involves a clinical examination, medical history, and assessment of risk factors for venous insufficiency.
• Doppler ultrasound may be used to evaluate venous blood flow and valve function.
• Management includes compression therapy with stockings or wraps to improve circulation.
• Elevating the legs and regular physical activity can also help reduce symptoms.
• Topical treatments like emollients and steroids may be used to manage skin changes and itching.
• Patients should receive education on the importance of lifestyle modifications and long-term management to prevent complications.
• Monitoring for venous ulcers and their prompt treatment is crucial to prevent infection and more severe skin issues.
• Referral to vascular specialists or dermatologists may be necessary for complex cases or when interventions like vein procedures are considered.
