Q27.3

Arteriovenous malformation (peripheral)

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 6 more specific codes instead:

  • Q27.30 Arteriovenous malformation, site unspecified
  • Q27.31 Arteriovenous malformation of vessel of upper limb
  • Q27.32 Arteriovenous malformation of vessel of lower limb
  • Q27.33 Arteriovenous malformation of digestive system vessel
  • Q27.34 Arteriovenous malformation of renal vessel
  • Q27.39 Arteriovenous malformation, other site

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 Arteriovenous malformation (peripheral)
