T81.89XA is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other complications of procedures, not elsewhere classified, initial encounter. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.
T81.89XA is an initial encounter code, includes a 7th character and should be used while the patient is receiving active treatment for a condition like other complications of procedures not elsewhere classified. According to ICD-10-CM Guidelines an "initial encounter" doesn't necessarily means "initial visit". The 7th character should be used when the patient is undergoing active treatment regardless if new or different providers saw the patient over the course of a treatment. The appropriate 7th character codes should also be used even if the patient delayed seeking treatment for a condition.

Clinical Information
Postoperative Hemorrhage
hemorrhage following any surgical procedure. it may be immediate or delayed and is not restricted to the surgical wound.Gingival Recession
exposure of the root surface when the edge of the gum (gingiva) moves apically away from the crown of the tooth. this is common with advancing age, vigorous tooth brushing, diseases, or tissue loss of the gingiva, the periodontal ligament and the supporting bone (alveolar process).Cytokine Release Syndrome
a severe immune reaction characterized by excessive release of cytokines. symptoms include dyspnea; fever; headache; hypotension; nausea; rash; tachycardia; hypoxia; hyperferritinemia, and multiple organ failure. it is associated with viral infections, sepsis; autoimmune diseases and a variety of factors used in immunotherapy.Seroma
tumor-like sterile accumulation of serum in a tissue, organ, or cavity. it results from a tissue insult and is the product of tissue inflammation. it most commonly occurs following mastectomy.Mastectomy
surgical procedure to remove one or both breasts.Aseptic Meningitis
inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord without a bacterial pathogen.Grade 1 Seroma, CTCAE|Grade 1 Seroma|Grade 1 Seroma

Coding Guidelines
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Complications of procedures, not elsewhere classified (T81). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela
Convert T81.89XA to ICD-9-CM

Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
