Peripheral angiopathy (443.81)?
443.81 Peripheral angiopathy in diseases classified elsewhere
Code first underlying disease, as:
diabetes mellitus (249.7, 250.7)
Does this code only apply to diabetic peripheral angiopathy or can this code be assigned if the physician identifies a seperate disease(other than diabetes) causing peripheral angiopathy? Please help :)
Thank you very much,
