T80.219D — Unspecified infection due to central venous catheter, subsequent encounter
Is T80.219D billable?
Yes, but T80.219D is an unspecified code. T80.219D is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, T80.219D is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting T80.219D — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

How long has T80.219D existed?
T80.219D has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
