Code Classification

  • Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes
    (S00–T88)
    • Complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified
      (T80-T88)
      • Complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts
        (T82)

T82.11 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of breakdown (mechanical) of cardiac electronic device. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Breakdown (mechanical) of cardiac electronic device

Non-specific codes like T82.11 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for breakdown (mechanical) of cardiac electronic device:

  • T82.110 for Breakdown (mechanical) of cardiac electrode - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.110A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.110D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.110S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T82.111 for Breakdown (mechanical) of cardiac pulse generator (battery) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.111A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.111D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.111S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T82.118 for Breakdown (mechanical) of other cardiac electronic device - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.118A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.118D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.118S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T82.119 for Breakdown (mechanical) of unspecified cardiac electronic device - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.119A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.119D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.119S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

Coding Guidelines

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T82). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela

Patient Education


Pacemakers and Implantable Defibrillators

An arrhythmia is any disorder of your heart rate or rhythm. It means that your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. Most arrhythmias result from problems in the electrical system of the heart. If your arrhythmia is serious, you may need a cardiac pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). They are devices that are implanted in your chest or abdomen.

A pacemaker helps control abnormal heart rhythms. It uses electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate. It can speed up a slow heart rhythm, control a fast heart rhythm, and coordinate the chambers of the heart.

An ICD monitors heart rhythms. If it senses dangerous rhythms, it delivers shocks. This treatment is called defibrillation. An ICD can help control life-threatening arrhythmias, especially those that can cause sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Most new ICDs can act as both a pacemaker and a defibrillator. Many ICDs also record the heart's electrical patterns when there is an abnormal heartbeat. This can help the doctor plan future treatment.

Getting a pacemaker or ICD requires minor surgery. You usually need to stay in the hospital for a day or two, so your doctor can make sure that the device is working well. You will probably be back to your normal activities within a few days.
