What information is required to accurately code PVD with diabetes in ICD-10-CM?

To accurately code peripheral vascular disease (PVD) with diabetes in ICD-10-CM, the following information is required:

1. Type of PVD: Specify the specific type of PVD, such as:

- Atherosclerosis of peripheral arteries (I70.209)

- Thromboangiitis obliterans (I73.89)

- Other specified peripheral arterial disease (I73.9)

- Unspecified peripheral arterial disease (I73.99)

2. Laterality: Indicate whether the PVD affects the right side, left side, or both sides. For example:

- Atherosclerosis of right peripheral artery (I70.201)

- Atherosclerosis of left peripheral artery (I70.202)

- Atherosclerosis of bilateral peripheral arteries (I70.209)

3. Diabetes mellitus: Specify the type of diabetes mellitus, if known:

- Diabetes mellitus type 1 (E10.-)

- Diabetes mellitus type 2 (E11.-)

- Other specified diabetes mellitus (E13.-)

- Unspecified diabetes mellitus (E14.-)

4. Presence of complications: If the PVD is associated with any complications, such as ulceration, infection, or gangrene, these should be specified using additional codes from the appropriate chapters of ICD-10-CM. For example:

- Ulcer of right foot due to PVD (L97.421)

- Diabetic gangrene of left toe (E11.910)

By providing this information, you can ensure accurate coding of PVD with diabetes in ICD-10-CM, which is essential for proper reimbursement, data analysis, and patient care.
