I82.4
I82.4 — Acute embolism and thrombosis of deep veins of lower extremity
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
I82.4 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for acute embolism and thrombosis of deep veins of lower extremity. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Other codes that can never be billed with I82.4
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at I82.4. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading I82.4 alone.
Risk adjustment
I82.4 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
