Wiki Claudication? Intermittent Claudication?

[TracyAlder]

If the provider writes that the patient has "claudication", how would I code that? I know that intermittent claudication codes to 443.9, but I can't find any reference to just plain old claudication.

Thanks!

I use 443.9 for claudication as well as intermittent claudication.
