T82.9XXD — Unspecified complication of cardiac and vascular prosthetic device, implant and graft, subsequent encounter
Is T82.9XXD billable?
Yes, but T82.9XXD is an unspecified code. T82.9XXD is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, T82.9XXD 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 T82.9XXD — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

What does the 7th character "D" mean in T82.9XXD?
In T82.9XXD, the 7th character D means subsequent encounter. The 7th character is required for T82.9XXD to be a valid, complete code.
Same condition, different episode of care — switch the 7th character:
Which MS-DRGs does T82.9XXD group to?
T82.9XXD sits in MDC 23 and helps define the logic of 2 MS-DRGs (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.

How long has T82.9XXD existed?
T82.9XXD 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.
