T80 — Complications following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection
T80 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for complications following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below. This code also requires a 7th character before it is complete.
This code requires a 7th character
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T80
- A
- initial encounter
- D
- subsequent encounter
- S
- sequela
Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist
The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.
- bone marrow transplant rejection (T86.01)
- febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction (R50.84)
- fluid overload due to transfusion (E87.71)
- posttransfusion purpura (D69.51)
- transfusion associated circulatory overload (TACO) (E87.71)
- transfusion (red blood cell) associated hemochromatosis (E83.111)
- transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) (J95.84)
Includes
Conditions this code covers.
- complications following perfusion
Other codes that can never be billed with T80
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at T80. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading T80 alone.
- L50Urticaria
- L95Vasculitis limited to skin, not elsewhere classified
- R57Shock, not elsewhere classified
- T78.2Anaphylactic shock, unspecified
- T78.2XXAAnaphylactic shock, unspecified, initial encounter
- T78.2XXDAnaphylactic shock, unspecified, subsequent encounter
- T78.2XXSAnaphylactic shock, unspecified, sequela
- T78.3Angioneurotic edema
Risk adjustment
T80 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Code to one of these instead T80

Questions about T80
- Is T80 a billable ICD-10-CM code?
- No. T80 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.
- Where does T80 sit in the tabular list?
- Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88), in the block Complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified (T80-T88).
