T87 — Complications peculiar to reattachment and amputation
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
T87 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for complications peculiar to reattachment and amputation. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Other codes that can never be billed with T87
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at T87. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading T87 alone.
- T81.31Disruption of external operation (surgical) wound, not elsewhere classified
- T81.31XADisruption of external operation (surgical) wound, not elsewhere classified, initial encounter
- T81.31XDDisruption of external operation (surgical) wound, not elsewhere classified, subsequent encounter
- T81.31XSDisruption of external operation (surgical) wound, not elsewhere classified, sequela
Risk adjustment
T87 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.
Code to one of these instead T87
