T82.1 — Mechanical complication of cardiac electronic device
Not billable
Is T82.1 billable?
No — T82.1 is a non-billable header code. T82.1 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 36 billable codes beneath T82.1.

Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside T82.1 to fully describe the condition. T82.1 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)

Report an additional code alongside T82.1 to fully describe the condition. T82.1 is sequenced first.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of T82.1, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T82.1 and the excluded code may both be reported.

What codes fall under T82.1? (3)
How long has T82.1 existed?
T82.1 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.
