T83.9XXS — Unspecified complication of genitourinary prosthetic device, implant and graft, sequela
Is T83.9XXS billable?
Yes, but T83.9XXS is an unspecified code. T83.9XXS is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, T83.9XXS 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 T83.9XXS — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

How long has T83.9XXS existed?
T83.9XXS 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.
