2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T85

Complications of other internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts

ICD-10-CM Code:
T85
ICD-10 Code for:
Complications of internal prosth dev/grft
Is Billable?
Not Valid for Submission
Code Navigator:

T85 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity from the list below for a diagnosis of complications of other internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2026 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 Complications of internal prosth dev/grft

Non-specific codes like T85 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following billable codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for complications of internal prosth dev/grft:

  • T85.0 for Mechanical complication of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt

  • T85.01 for Breakdown (mechanical) of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt

Coding Guidelines

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Complications of other internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T85). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:

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

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Type 2 Excludes

Type 2 Excludes
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.
  • failure and rejection of transplanted organs and tissue T86

7th Character Note

7th Character Note
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.
  • The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T85

7th Character

7th Character
Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.
  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela
