I74

Arterial embolism and thrombosis

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 8 more specific codes instead:

  • I74.0 Embolism and thrombosis of abdominal aorta (also a header)
  • I74.1 Embolism and thrombosis of other and unspecified parts of aorta (also a header)
  • I74.2 Embolism and thrombosis of arteries of the upper extremities
  • I74.3 Embolism and thrombosis of arteries of the lower extremities
  • I74.4 Embolism and thrombosis of arteries of extremities, unspecified
  • I74.5 Embolism and thrombosis of iliac artery
  • I74.8 Embolism and thrombosis of other arteries
  • I74.9 Embolism and thrombosis of unspecified artery

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.

  1. FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Arterial embolism and thrombosis
