I80 — Phlebitis and thrombophlebitis
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
I80 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for phlebitis and thrombophlebitis. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
Code first
The underlying condition must be sequenced before this code.
Includes
Conditions this code covers.
- endophlebitis
- inflammation, vein
- periphlebitis
- suppurative phlebitis
Other codes that can never be billed with I80
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at I80. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading I80 alone.
- N61Inflammatory disorders of breast
Risk adjustment
I80 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
