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 other internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts
        (T85)

T85.73 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of infection and inflammatory reaction due to nervous system devices, implants and graft. 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 I/I react d/t nervous system devices, implants and graft

Non-specific codes like T85.73 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 i/i react d/t nervous system devices, implants and graft:

  • T85.730 for Infection and inflammatory reaction due to ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.730A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.730D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.730S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.731 for Infection and inflammatory reaction due to implanted electronic neurostimulator of brain, electrode (lead) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.731A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.731D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.731S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.732 for Infection and inflammatory reaction due to implanted electronic neurostimulator of peripheral nerve, electrode (lead) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.732A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.732D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.732S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.733 for Infection and inflammatory reaction due to implanted electronic neurostimulator of spinal cord, electrode (lead) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.733A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.733D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.733S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.734 for Infection and inflammatory reaction due to implanted electronic neurostimulator, generator - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.734A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.734D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.734S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.735 for Infection and inflammatory reaction due to cranial or spinal infusion catheter - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.735A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.735D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.735S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.738 for Infection and inflammatory reaction due to other nervous system device, implant or graft - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.738A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.738D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.738S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

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
