T83.9 — Unspecified complication of genitourinary prosthetic device, implant and graft
T83.9 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for unspecified complication of genitourinary prosthetic device, implant and 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 T83
- A
- initial encounter
- D
- subsequent encounter
- S
- sequela
Risk adjustment
T83.9 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.

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 T83.9.
