How is I87.02 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to I87.02. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Syndrome › postthrombotic › with › inflammation
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from I87.0
The conditions below can never be reported together with I87.02 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- chronic venous hypertension without deep vein thrombosis (I87.3-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 9
