I74.1

Embolism and thrombosis of other and unspecified parts of aorta

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 3 more specific codes instead:

  • I74.10 Embolism and thrombosis of unspecified parts of aorta
  • I74.11 Embolism and thrombosis of thoracic aorta
  • I74.19 Embolism and thrombosis of other parts of aorta

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 Embolism and thrombosis of other and unspecified parts of aorta
