ICD-10 Code I83.014 – Varicose veins of right lower extremity with ulcer of heel and midfoot (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I83.014 – Varicose veins of right lower extremity with ulcer of heel and midfoot
What it is
This code identifies varicose veins in the right leg complicated by an ulcer located on the heel and midfoot. Use it when the documentation links the venous disease to that specific ulcer site.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include visibly enlarged, tortuous leg veins and a chronic ulcer over the heel or midfoot area. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the ulcer depth, laterality, and venous association.
When to use this code
Use I83.014 when the provider documents varicose veins of the right lower extremity with an ulcer specifically on the heel and midfoot. The record should support both the venous condition and the ulcer location. Check documentation if the ulcer site is described differently or if laterality is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for varicose veins without an ulcer, or for ulcers caused by nonvenous conditions. If the ulcer is on another part of the foot, select the code that matches the documented location.
Coding tip
Verify that the chart states right-sided varicose veins and an ulcer of the heel and midfoot before assigning this code.
