Non-specific codes like T85.611 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 intraperitoneal dialysis catheter:

  • Use T85.611A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.611D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.611S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

Coding Guidelines

Patient Education


Dialysis

When your kidneys are healthy, they clean your blood. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy. When your kidneys fail, you need treatment to replace the work your kidneys used to do. Unless you have a kidney transplant, you will need a treatment called dialysis.

There are two main types of dialysis. Both types filter your blood to rid your body of harmful wastes, extra salt, and water.:

  • Hemodialysis uses a machine. It is sometimes called an artificial kidney. You usually go to a special clinic for treatments several times a week.
  • Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of your abdomen, called the peritoneal membrane, to filter your blood.
