2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I83.92 – Asymptomatic varicose veins of left lower extremity
What it is
I83.92 identifies varicose veins in the left lower extremity when no symptoms are documented. It indicates visible or diagnosed venous dilation on the left leg without pain, swelling, or other complaints.
Clinical signs
Findings may include tortuous, enlarged superficial veins on the left leg. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation if symptoms such as aching, heaviness, edema, or skin changes are not clearly stated.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents asymptomatic varicose veins limited to the left lower extremity. It fits routine encounters where the condition is noted on exam or history but no venous symptoms are recorded. If laterality or symptom status is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use I83.92 if the record describes symptomatic varicose veins, venous ulcer, inflammation, or thrombosis. Do not apply it when the left-sided location is not documented.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and the absence of symptoms before assigning I83.92.
