If Assessment has : Peripheral Arterial Disease; 50% stenosis Carotid Arteries .
I googled Carotid Artery Disease -
carotid artery disease and it says: "Diseases of blood vessels in places other than the heart or brain are called peripheral vascular disease. Most often, the cause is narrowing of the vessels due to a build-up of fatty plaque (atherosclerosis). The main locations are the legs, stomach, kidneys, and neck (carotid) arteries leading to the brain."
From this, looks like I can code I73.9 - Anyone? Thanks
