About J95.87

J95.87 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Transfusion-associated dyspnea (TAD). It belongs to category J95 (intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified), block J95 (intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified) and chapter 10 (diseases of the respiratory system). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within J95.8 (other intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified), J95.87 is specifically for Transfusion-associated dyspnea (TAD). Related codes cover postprocedural pneumothorax and air leak (J95.81), postprocedural respiratory failure (J95.82), postprocedural hemorrhage of a respiratory system organ or structure following a procedure (J95.83), Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) (J95.84), complication of respirator [ventilator] (J95.85), postprocedural hematoma and seroma of a respiratory system organ or structure following a procedure (J95.86), other intraoperative complications of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified (J95.88) and other postprocedural complications and disorders of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified (J95.89).

Don't report J95.87 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: transfusion associated circulatory overload (TACO) (E87.71) and transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) (J95.84).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 205 (Other Respiratory System Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.8244), DRG 206 (Other Respiratory System Diagnoses without MCC, relative weight 0.9257), DRG 791 (Prematurity with Major Problems, relative weight 4.1075) and DRG 793 (Full Term Neonate with Major Problems, relative weight 4.2195), in MDC 04 (Diseases and Disorders of the Respiratory System) and MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It was added in FY2023, effective October 1, 2022.
