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

Blood Clots
A blood clot is a mass of blood that forms when platelets, proteins, and cells in the blood stick together. When you get hurt, your body forms a blood clot to stop the bleeding. After the bleeding stops and healing takes place, your body usually breaks down and removes the blood clot.

Questions About T82.868AOverview
Is T82.868A a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report thrombosis due to vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, initial encounter on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
What does the 7th character A in T82.868A mean?
The final character A marks the initial encounter: use it while the patient is receiving active treatment for thrombosis due to vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, such as an emergency visit or first evaluation.
What MS-DRG does T82.868A group to?
When thrombosis due to vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, initial encounter is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 314, 315, 316, with relative weights from 0.6821 to 2.0852 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
What is the ICD-9 equivalent of T82.868A?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, thrombosis due to vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, initial encounter converts to ICD-9-CM 996.73 (comp-ren dialys dev/grft) and 996.74 (comp-oth vasc dev/graft). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.
