T85.698 — Other mechanical complication of other specified internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts
T85.698 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other mechanical complication of other specified internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts. 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.
- Mechanical complication of nonabsorbable surgical material NOS
Risk adjustment
T85.698 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.
