ICD-10 Code I82 – Other venous embolism and thrombosis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I82 – Other venous embolism and thrombosis
What it is
I82 identifies venous embolism or thrombosis in a vein, other than the common site-specific categories. Use it when documentation supports a venous clot but does not name a more precise code.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include limb swelling, pain, tenderness, redness, or a diagnosed venous clot on imaging or clinical assessment.
When to use this code
Use I82 when the provider documents venous thrombosis or embolism and the record does not specify a more exact vein or an excluded condition. It may apply when the clot is described as “other” or when site detail is insufficient. Check documentation before assigning it.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for arterial embolism or thrombosis, superficial thrombophlebitis, or when a more specific venous thrombosis code is documented. Check documentation for the exact vessel and condition.
Coding tip
Code the most specific venous thrombosis diagnosis available; use I82 only when the record lacks a better-defined site or category.
