Billable/Specific Code

Adult Dx (15-124 years)

I70.92 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The 2023 edition of ICD-10-CM I70.92 became effective on October 1, 2022.
This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I70.92 - other international versions of ICD-10 I70.92 may differ.

ICD-10-CM Coding Rules

I70.92 is applicable to adult patients aged 15 - 124 years inclusive.

Applicable To

Complete occlusion of artery of the extremities
Total occlusion of artery of the extremities

Code First

Code First Help

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation. In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere." Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code. "In diseases classified elsewhere" codes are never permitted to be used as first listed or principle diagnosis codes. They must be used in conjunction with an underlying condition code and they must be listed following the underlying condition.
