T82.838Hemorrhage due to vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts

T82.838 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for hemorrhage due to vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts. It belongs to category T82 (complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts), block T80-T88 (complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T82.83 (hemorrhage due to cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts), T82.838 is specifically for hemorrhage due to vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts. Related codes cover cardiac prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T82.837).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2017 (title revised).
