Is I82.591 billable?

Which MS-DRGs does I82.591 group to?
I82.591 sits in MDC 05 and helps define the logic of 3 MS-DRGs (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.
- 299Peripheral Vascular Disorders with MCCmedical
- 300Peripheral Vascular Disorders with CCmedical
- 301Peripheral Vascular Disorders without CC/MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, I82.591 is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from I82.5
The conditions below can never be reported together with I82.591 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- personal history of venous embolism and thrombosis (Z86.718)
Code first — inherited from I82
The underlying condition below must be sequenced before I82.591. I82.591 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.
Use additional code — inherited from I82.5
Report an additional code alongside I82.591 to fully describe the condition. I82.591 is sequenced first.
- code, if applicable, for associated long-term (current) use of anticoagulants (Z79.01)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 9
The conditions below are not part of I82.591, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I82.591 and the excluded code may both be reported.

- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)

- neoplasms (C00-D49)
- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)
- systemic connective tissue disorders (M30-M36)
- transient cerebral ischemic attacks and related syndromes (G45.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from I82
The conditions below are not part of I82.591, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, I82.591 and the excluded code may both be reported.
