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 genitourinary prosthetic devices, implants and grafts
        (T83)

T83.01 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 urinary catheter. 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 urinary catheter

Non-specific codes like T83.01 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 urinary catheter:

  • T83.010 for Breakdown (mechanical) of cystostomy catheter - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.010A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.010D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.010S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T83.011 for Breakdown (mechanical) of indwelling urethral catheter - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.011A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.011D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.011S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T83.012 for Breakdown (mechanical) of nephrostomy catheter - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.012A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.012D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.012S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T83.018 for Breakdown (mechanical) of other urinary catheter - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.018A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.018D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T83.018S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

Coding Guidelines

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Complications of genitourinary prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T83). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:

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

Patient Education


Urine and Urination

Your kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra water from your blood. The waste is called urea. Your blood carries it to the kidneys. From the kidneys, urine travels down two thin tubes called ureters to the bladder. The bladder stores urine until you are ready to urinate. It swells into a round shape when it is full and gets smaller when empty. If your urinary system is healthy, your bladder can hold up to 16 ounces (2 cups) of urine comfortably for 2 to 5 hours.

You may have problems with urination if you have:

  • Kidney failure
  • Urinary tract infections
  • An enlarged prostate
  • Bladder control problems like incontinence, overactive bladder, or interstitial cystitis
  • A blockage that prevents you from emptying your bladder

Some conditions may also cause you to have blood or protein in your urine. If you have a urinary problem, see your health care provider. Urinalysis and other urine tests can help to diagnose the problem. Treatment depends on the cause.
