Excludes1 inherited from the categories above T82.49XS

These are not written on T82.49XS, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing T82.49XS with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on T82.4 — Mechanical complication of vascular dialysis catheter

mechanical complication of intraperitoneal dialysis catheter (T85.62)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above T82.49XS

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of T82.49XS, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on T82 — Complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts

failure and rejection of transplanted organs and tissue (T86.-)

Risk adjustment

T82.49XS 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.

Medicare coverage

T82.49XS is named in 14 Medicare coverage policies — 14 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
