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)

T85.69 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of other mechanical complication of other specified internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts. 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 Mech compl of internal prosth dev/grft

Non-specific codes like T85.69 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 mech compl of internal prosth dev/grft:

  • T85.690 for Other mechanical complication of cranial or spinal infusion catheter - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.690A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.690D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.690S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.691 for Other mechanical complication of intraperitoneal dialysis catheter - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.691A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.691D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.691S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.692 for Other mechanical complication of permanent sutures - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.692A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.692D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.692S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.693 for Other mechanical complication of artificial skin graft and decellularized allodermis - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.693A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.693D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.693S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.694 for Other mechanical complication of insulin pump - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.694A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.694D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.694S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.695 for Other mechanical complication of other nervous system device, implant or graft - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.695A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.695D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.695S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • T85.698 for Other mechanical complication of other specified internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.698A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.698D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use T85.698S 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

Inclusion Terms

Inclusion Terms
These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
  • Obstruction, mechanical of other specified internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts
  • Perforation of other specified internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts
  • Protrusion of other specified internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts
