ICD-10 Code I87 – Other disorders of veins (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I87 – Other disorders of veins
What it is
I87 is used for other specified disorders affecting veins that are not classified elsewhere. It covers venous conditions documented by the provider when a more precise code is not available.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common venous findings may include swelling, pain, skin changes, or visible vein abnormalities, but you should code only what the record supports.
When to use this code
Use I87 when the clinician documents a venous disorder that does not fit a more specific ICD-10 category. It may apply to chronic venous problems, venous insufficiency-related findings, or other vein abnormalities when the chart lacks a better-defined diagnosis. Check documentation if the exact condition is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use I87 for varicose veins, venous embolism, or thrombosis when a specific code exists. Also avoid it when the record provides a more precise venous diagnosis.
Coding tip
Look for the provider’s exact venous diagnosis first; if a more specific code is documented, use that instead of I87.
