2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T82Complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts
T82 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as T82.01XA, T82.01XD, T82.01XS, and T82.02XA.

Coding GuidelinesGuidance
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T82). Use the following options for the applicable episode of care:
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela

Tabular List NotesGuidance
Coding notes and annotation back-references applicable to this code.
Type 2 Excludes
- failure and rejection of transplanted organs and tissue T86
7th Character Note
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T82
7th Character
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.
Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.

Questions About T82Overview
Is T82 a billable code?
No. This is a category header that groups the codes for complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts need a more specific code from this category, such as T82.01XA, T82.01XD, and T82.01XS.
