2027 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T80.69XSOther serum reaction due to other serum, sequela
T80.69XS is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other serum reaction due to other serum, sequela. The 7th character S marks it as a sequela code, which reports a problem that remains after the original condition has resolved. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 922 through 923. The code is exempt from POA reporting. Coders also document this condition as immune complex urticaria. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Complication, sequela.

Use Additional Code
Add a second code, after this one, to fully describe the condition.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Code Also
A second code may be needed to fully describe the condition; the note gives no sequencing direction.
Notes
General instructions on how these codes are used.
- Use secondary code(s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code
- The chapter uses the S-section for coding different types of injuries related to single body regions and the T-section to cover injuries to unspecified body regions as well as poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes.
7th Character
Every code in the category takes a 7th character from the listed values, with the placeholder X filling any empty positions before it.
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T80
- Ainitial encounter
- Dsubsequent encounter
- Ssequela this code

Questions About T80.69XSOverview
What is the ICD-10 code for other serum reaction due to other serum, sequela?
The ICD-10-CM code for other serum reaction due to other serum, sequela is T80.69XS (sometimes written as T8069XS). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is T80.69XS (Other serum reaction due to other serum) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other serum reaction due to other serum, sequela on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What does the 7th character S in T80.69XS mean?
The final character S makes this a sequela code: it reports a lingering problem that remains after the other serum reaction due to other serum itself has resolved, not the original event.
What MS-DRG does T80.69XS group to?
When other serum reaction due to other serum, sequela is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 923, 922, with relative weights from 0.9980 to 1.6248 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is T80.69XS exempt from POA reporting?
Yes. CMS lists this code among those exempt from present on admission reporting, so hospitals do not assign a POA indicator for other serum reaction due to other serum, sequela on inpatient claims. The code appears in the Complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified (T80-T88) range of the CMS exempt list.
