T82 — Complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts
T82 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below. This code also requires a 7th character before it is complete.
This code requires a 7th character
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T82
- A
- initial encounter
- D
- subsequent encounter
- S
- sequela
Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist
The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.
- failure and rejection of transplanted organs and tissue (T86.-)
Other codes that can never be billed with T82
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at T82. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading T82 alone.
- T86.2Complications of heart transplant
- I70.3Atherosclerosis of unspecified type of bypass graft(s) of the extremities
- T82.0Mechanical complication of heart valve prosthesis
- T82.2Mechanical complication of coronary artery bypass graft and biological heart valve graft
- T85.611Breakdown (mechanical) of intraperitoneal dialysis catheter
- T85.611ABreakdown (mechanical) of intraperitoneal dialysis catheter, initial encounter
- T85.611DBreakdown (mechanical) of intraperitoneal dialysis catheter, subsequent encounter
- T85.611SBreakdown (mechanical) of intraperitoneal dialysis catheter, sequela
Risk adjustment
T82 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Code to one of these instead T82

Questions about T82
- Is T82 a billable ICD-10-CM code?
- No. T82 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.
- Where does T82 sit in the tabular list?
- Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88), in the block Complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified (T80-T88).
