T80.219S — Unspecified infection due to central venous catheter, sequela

BillableUnspecified

Is T80.219S billable?

Yes, but T80.219S is an unspecified code. T80.219S is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, T80.219S 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 T80.219S — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

How long has T80.219S existed?

T80.219S has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.

Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
