T82.2 — Mechanical complication of coronary artery bypass graft and biological heart valve graft
T82.2 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for mechanical complication of coronary artery bypass graft and biological heart valve graft. 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 T82
- A
- initial encounter
- D
- subsequent encounter
- S
- sequela
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- mechanical complication of artificial heart valve prosthesis (T82.0-)
Other codes that can never be billed with T82.2
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at T82.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading T82.2 alone.
- T82.0Mechanical complication of heart valve prosthesis
Risk adjustment
T82.2 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 T82.2
2 child codes. Green means billable.

Questions about T82.2
- Is T82.2 a billable ICD-10-CM code?
- No. T82.2 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.
- Where does T82.2 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).
- What cannot be coded together with T82.2?
- T82.2 carries an Excludes1 note, which means the conditions it lists can never be coded together with it on the same encounter.
