T85.12 — Displacement of implanted electronic stimulator of nervous system
Is T85.12 billable?
No — T85.12 is a non-billable header code. T85.12 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 15 billable codes beneath T85.12.

Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to T85.12.
- Malposition of implanted electronic stimulator of nervous system
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside T85.12 to fully describe the condition. T85.12 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 T85.12 to fully describe the condition. T85.12 is sequenced first.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of T85.12, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T85.12 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from T80-T88

How long has T85.12 existed?
T85.12 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.
