T82.223 — Leakage of biological heart valve graft
Is T82.223 billable?
No — T82.223 is a non-billable header code. T82.223 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 3 billable codes beneath T82.223.

How is T82.223 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to T82.223. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Complication › heart › valve › graft › mechanical › leakage (s) (from) (of)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from T82.2
The conditions below can never be reported together with T82.223 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- mechanical complication of artificial heart valve prosthesis (T82.0-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside T82.223 to fully describe the condition. T82.223 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Use additional code — inherited from T80-T88
Report an additional code alongside T82.223 to fully describe the condition. T82.223 is sequenced first.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of T82.223, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T82.223 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from T80-T88
The conditions below are not part of T82.223, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T82.223 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- any encounters with medical care for postprocedural conditions in which no complications are present, such as:
- artificial opening status (Z93.-)

- fitting and adjustment of external prosthetic device (Z44.-)
- burns and corrosions from local applications and irradiation (T20-T32)

- poisoning and toxic effects of drugs and chemicals (T36-T65 with fifth or sixth character 1-4 or 6)
- postprocedural fever (R50.82)
- specified complications classified elsewhere, such as:
- cerebrospinal fluid leak from spinal puncture (G97.0)
- colostomy malfunction (K94.0-)
- disorders of fluid and electrolyte imbalance (E86-E87)
- functional disturbances following cardiac surgery (I97.0-I97.1)
- intraoperative and postprocedural complications of specified body systems (D78.-, E36.-, E89.-, G97.3-, G97.4, H59.3-, H59.-, H95.2-, H95.3, I97.4-, I97.5, J95.6-, J95.7, K91.6-, L76.-, M96.-, N99.-)
- ostomy complications (J95.0-, K94.-, N99.5-)
- postgastric surgery syndromes (K91.1)
- postlaminectomy syndrome NEC (M96.1)
- postmastectomy lymphedema syndrome (I97.2)
- postsurgical blind-loop syndrome (K91.2)
- ventilator associated pneumonia (J95.851)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from T82
The conditions below are not part of T82.223, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T82.223 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- failure and rejection of transplanted organs and tissue (T86.-)
