Many people who have been diagnosed with varicose veins have seen ICD-10 codes in their reports. And as the code system is usually understandable by medical professionals, they find it hard to understand the code’s significance. 

All kinds of medical conditions can be identified with the help of these ICD 10 codes, including the severity of varicose veins. So, today with this blog, you will get a deeper understanding of the varicose veins ICD-10 code. 

What is ICD? 

ICD stands for International Classification of Diseases. It is a global coding system that is used for epidemiology, health management, and clinical purposes, maintained by the WHO (World Health Organization). The codes given in the ICD are a system that classifies diseases on the basis of a variety of signs, symptoms, complaints, external causes, and social circumstances, and abnormal findings. 

Over the years, the ICD codes have been revised periodically and the 10th revision is known as ICD- 10 codes. Every disease that is diagnosed can be represented by one of the codes that are given in the ICD-10. It is given as a combination of numbers that describe different aspects of medical conditions. 

These characters are combined to create the code that specifies varicose veins condition.
