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 cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts
        (T82)

T82.31 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of breakdown (mechanical) of other vascular grafts. 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 Breakdown (mechanical) of other vascular grafts

Non-specific codes like T82.31 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 other vascular grafts:

  • T82.310 for Breakdown (mechanical) of aortic (bifurcation) graft (replacement) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.310A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.310D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.310S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T82.311 for Breakdown (mechanical) of carotid arterial graft (bypass) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.311A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.311D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.311S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T82.312 for Breakdown (mechanical) of femoral arterial graft (bypass) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.312A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.312D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.312S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T82.318 for Breakdown (mechanical) of other vascular grafts - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.318A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.318D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.318S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T82.319 for Breakdown (mechanical) of unspecified vascular grafts - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.319A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.319D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T82.319S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

Coding Guidelines

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 aplicable episode of care:

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela
