T82.529D — Displacement of unspecified cardiac and vascular devices and implants, subsequent encounter
Is T82.529D billable?
Yes, but T82.529D is an unspecified code. T82.529D is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, T82.529D 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 T82.529D — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

How long has T82.529D existed?
T82.529D 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.
