T88.1XXDOther complications following immunization, not elsewhere classified, subsequent encounter

BillableUnspecified

Is T88.1XXD billable?

Yes, but T88.1XXD is an unspecified code. T88.1XXD is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, T88.1XXD 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 T88.1XXD.

Which MS-DRGs does T88.1XXD group to?

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with T88.1XXD on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • vaccinia not from vaccine (B08.011)

Excludes2 — not included here

The conditions below are not part of T88.1XXD, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T88.1XXD and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • anaphylactic shock due to serum (T80.5-)
  • other serum reactions (T80.6-)
  • postimmunization arthropathy (M02.2)
  • postimmunization encephalitis (G04.02)
  • postimmunization fever (R50.83)

Inclusion terms

  • Generalized vaccinia
  • Rash following immunization

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from T88.1

The conditions below can never be reported together with T88.1XXD on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • vaccinia not from vaccine (B08.011)

Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19

Report an additional code alongside T88.1XXD to fully describe the condition. T88.1XXD 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 T88.1XXD to fully describe the condition. T88.1XXD is sequenced first.

  • code(s) to identify the specified condition resulting from the complication
  • code to identify devices involved and details of circumstances (Y62-Y82)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19

How long has T88.1XXD existed?

T88.1XXD 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.
