ICD-10-CM T82.02XA
CMSSource: CMS FY 2027 ICD-10-CM dataset · Effective Oct 1, 2026 – Sep 30, 2027

T82.02XA is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for displacement of heart valve prosthesis, initial encounter. The 7th character A marks it as an initial encounter code, used while the patient is receiving active treatment. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 306 through 307. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 52 closely related codes. Coders also document this condition as prosthetic cardiac valve displacement. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Complication of cardiovascular device, implant or graft, initial encounter.

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

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to T82.02XA: its own notes plus those printed at T82.0, T82, block T80-T88, and Chapter 19. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

From T82.0 Mechanical complication of heart valve prosthesis applies to 12 codes
  • mechanical complication of biological heart valve graft (T82.22-)

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

Use Additional Code

Add a second code, after this one, to fully describe the condition.

From Block T80-T88 Complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified applies to 1,683 codes
  • code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5)
  • code(s) to identify the specified condition resulting from the complication

From Chapter 19 (S00-T88) Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes applies to 41,187 codes
  • code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)

Notes

General instructions on how these codes are used.

From Chapter 19 (S00-T88) Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes applies to 41,187 codes
  • 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.

From T82 Complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts applies to 297 codes
  • The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T82
Values for category T82 Encounter: Initial, Subsequent, Sequela
  • Ainitial encounter this code
  • Dsubsequent encounter
  • Ssequela

Questions About T82.02XAOverview

What is the ICD-10 code for displacement of heart valve prosthesis, initial encounter?

The ICD-10-CM code for displacement of heart valve prosthesis, initial encounter is T82.02XA (sometimes written as T8202XA). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Is T82.02XA (Displacement of heart valve prosthesis) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report displacement of heart valve prosthesis, initial encounter on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What does the 7th character A in T82.02XA mean?

The final character A marks the initial encounter: use it while the patient is receiving active treatment for displacement of heart valve prosthesis, such as an emergency visit or first evaluation.

What MS-DRG does T82.02XA group to?

When displacement of heart valve prosthesis, initial encounter is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 306, 307, with relative weights from 0.9146 to 1.5457 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Is T82.02XA a CC or MCC?

CMS lists T82.02XA as a CC (complication or comorbidity) for FY 2027. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it moves the inpatient stay to a higher-weighted DRG within its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 52 closely related codes in its exclusion list.
