Code Classification

  • Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes
    (S00–T88)
    • Complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified
      (T80-T88)

T85.12 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of displacement of implanted electronic stimulator of nervous system. 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 Displacmnt of implanted electronic stimulator of nervous sys

Non-specific codes like T85.12 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 displacmnt of implanted electronic stimulator of nervous sys:

  • T85.120 for Displacement of implanted electronic neurostimulator of brain electrode (lead) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.120A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.120D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.120S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.121 for Displacement of implanted electronic neurostimulator of peripheral nerve electrode (lead) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.121A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.121D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.121S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.122 for Displacement of implanted electronic neurostimulator of spinal cord electrode (lead) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.122A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.122D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.122S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.123 for Displacement of implanted electronic neurostimulator, generator - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.123A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.123D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.123S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.128 for Displacement of other implanted electronic stimulator of nervous system - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.128A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.128D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.128S 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

Inclusion Terms

Inclusion Terms
These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
