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)

T85.698A is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other mechanical complication of other specified internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, initial encounter. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

T85.698A is an initial encounter code, includes a 7th character and should be used while the patient is receiving active treatment for a condition like other mechanical complication of other specified internal prosthetic devices implants and grafts. According to ICD-10-CM Guidelines an "initial encounter" doesn't necessarily means "initial visit". The 7th character should be used when the patient is undergoing active treatment regardless if new or different providers saw the patient over the course of a treatment. The appropriate 7th character codes should also be used even if the patient delayed seeking treatment for a condition.

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:
