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 internal orthopedic prosthetic devices, implants and grafts
    (T84)

T84.498 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of other mechanical complication of other internal orthopedic devices, implants and grafts. 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 Mech compl of internal orth devices, implants and grafts

Non-specific codes like T84.498 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 mech compl of internal orth devices, implants and grafts:

Use T84.498A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use T84.498D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE
Use T84.498S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

Coding Guidelines

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Complications of internal orthopedic prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T84). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:

A - initial encounter
D - subsequent encounter
S - sequela
