T82.599 — Other mechanical complication of unspecified cardiac and vascular devices and implants
T82.599 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other mechanical complication of unspecified cardiac and vascular devices and implants. 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
Risk adjustment
T82.599 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 T82.599 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 T82.599.
