T85.193 — Other mechanical complication of implanted electronic neurostimulator, generator
T85.193 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other mechanical complication of implanted electronic neurostimulator, generator. 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.
- Other mechanical complication of implanted electronic neurostimulator generator, brain, peripheral, gastric, spinal
- Other mechanical complication of implanted electronic sacral neurostimulator, pulse generator or receiver
Risk adjustment
T85.193 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 T85.193 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 T85.193.
