T80.82 — Complication of immune effector cellular therapy
T80.82 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for complication of immune effector cellular therapy. 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.

Risk adjustment
T80.82 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.
How T80.82 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to T80.82.
- Complication›chimeric antigen receptor cell therapy(CAR-T)
- Complication›IEC therapy(immune effector cellular)
- Complication›immune effector cellular therapy(IEC)
