T84.02 — Dislocation of internal joint prosthesis
Is T84.02 billable?
No — T84.02 is a non-billable header code. T84.02 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 18 billable codes beneath T84.02.

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of T84.02, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T84.02 and the excluded code may both be reported.

How long has T84.02 existed?
T84.02 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.
