I80.201 — Phlebitis and thrombophlebitis of unspecified deep vessels of right lower extremity
Is I80.201 billable?
Yes, but I80.201 is an unspecified code. I80.201 is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, I80.201 is an unspecified or catch-all code.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from I80
The conditions below can never be reported together with I80.201 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Code first — inherited from I80
The underlying condition below must be sequenced before I80.201. I80.201 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 9
The conditions below are not part of I80.201, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I80.201 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
