Which MS-DRGs does T82.43XA group to?

T82.43XA sits in MDC 11 and helps define the logic of 3 MS-DRGs (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.

  • 673Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures with MCCsurgical
  • 674Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures with CCsurgical
  • 675Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures without CC/MCCsurgical

As a secondary diagnosis, T82.43XA is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.

How is T82.43XA listed in the Alphabetic Index?

The Alphabetic Index lists these routes under T82.43, the nearest indexed parent of T82.43XA. Use them to find the family, then select the specific code.

  • Leak, leakage › device, implant or graft › catheter NEC › dialysis
  • Complication › catheterNEC › dialysis › mechanical › leakage (s) (from) (of)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from T82.4

The conditions below can never be reported together with T82.43XA 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 intraperitoneal dialysis catheter (T85.62)

Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19

Report an additional code alongside T82.43XA to fully describe the condition. T82.43XA 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 T82.43XA to fully describe the condition. T82.43XA is sequenced first.

  • code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5)
  • code(s) to identify the specified condition resulting from the complication
  • code to identify devices involved and details of circumstances (Y62-Y82)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19

The conditions below are not part of T82.43XA, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T82.43XA and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • birth trauma (P10-P15)
  • obstetric trauma (O70-O71)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from T80-T88

The conditions below are not part of T82.43XA, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T82.43XA 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.-)
  • closure of external stoma (Z43.-)
  • fitting and adjustment of external prosthetic device (Z44.-)
  • burns and corrosions from local applications and irradiation (T20-T32)
  • complications of surgical procedures during pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
  • mechanical complication of respirator [ventilator] (J95.850)
  • 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)

  • 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 T82.43XA, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T82.43XA and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • failure and rejection of transplanted organs and tissue (T86.-)

How long has T82.43XA existed?

T82.43XA has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
