Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.
This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.
Submit one of these 5 more specific codes instead:
- I70.491 Other atherosclerosis of autologous vein bypass graft(s) of the extremities, right leg
- I70.492 Other atherosclerosis of autologous vein bypass graft(s) of the extremities, left leg
- I70.493 Other atherosclerosis of autologous vein bypass graft(s) of the extremities, bilateral legs
- I70.498 Other atherosclerosis of autologous vein bypass graft(s) of the extremities, other extremity
- I70.499 Other atherosclerosis of autologous vein bypass graft(s) of the extremities, unspecified extremity
What has happened to this code
Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
