T88.1XXD — Other complications following immunization, not elsewhere classified, subsequent encounter
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.

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.
