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 other internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts

T85.2 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of mechanical complication of intraocular lens. 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 Mechanical complication of intraocular lens

Non-specific codes like T85.2 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 mechanical complication of intraocular lens:

  • T85.21 for Breakdown (mechanical) of intraocular lens - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.21XA for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.21XD for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.21XS for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.22 for Displacement of intraocular lens - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.22XA for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.22XD for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.22XS for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.29 for Other mechanical complication of intraocular lens - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.29XA for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.29XD for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.29XS for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

Coding Guidelines

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Complications of other internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T85). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:

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

Patient Education


Cataract

A cataract is a clouding of the lens in your eye. It affects your vision. Cataracts are very common in older people. By age 80, more than half of all Americans either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery.

A cataract can occur in either or both eyes. It cannot spread from one eye to the other. Common symptoms are:

  • Blurry vision
  • Colors that seem faded
  • Glare - headlights, lamps or sunlight may seem too bright. You may also see a halo around lights.
  • Not being able to see well at night
  • Double vision
  • Frequent prescription changes in your eye wear

Cataracts usually develop slowly. New glasses, brighter lighting, anti-glare sunglasses or magnifying lenses can help at first. Surgery is also an option. It involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with an artificial lens. Wearing sunglasses and a hat with a brim to block ultraviolet sunlight may help to delay cataracts.
