ICD-10-CM Code I80.239
Phlebitis and thrombophlebitis of unspecified tibial vein
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.I80.239 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of phlebitis and thrombophlebitis of unspecified tibial vein. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The ICD code I802 is used to code Deep vein thrombosis
Deep vein thrombosis, or deep venous thrombosis, (DVT) is the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) within a deep vein,[a] predominantly in the legs. Non-specific signs may include pain, swelling, redness, warmness, and engorged superficial veins. Pulmonary embolism, a potentially life-threatening complication, is caused by the detachment (embolization) of a clot that travels to the lungs. Together, DVT and pulmonary embolism constitute a single disease process known as venous thromboembolism. Post-thrombotic syndrome, another complication, significantly contributes to the health-care cost of DVT. Prevention options for at-risk individuals include early and frequent walking, calf exercises, anticoagulants, aspirin, graduated compression stockings, and intermittent pneumatic compression.
