T85.09: Other mechanical complication of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

T85.09 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other mechanical complication of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt. 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 T85

A: initial encounter
D: subsequent encounter
S: sequela

Inclusion terms

Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

Obstruction (mechanical) of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt
Perforation of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt
Protrusion of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above T85.09

Not part of this code, but both may be coded when both are present.

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

Risk adjustment

No CMS-HCC V28 category: this code does not change a RAF score.
