About T83.511
T83.511 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for infection and inflammatory reaction due to indwelling urethral catheter. It belongs to category T83 (complications of genitourinary 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 T83.51 (infection and inflammatory reaction due to urinary catheter), T83.511 is specifically for infection and inflammatory reaction due to indwelling urethral catheter. Related codes cover cystostomy catheter (T83.510), nephrostomy catheter (T83.512) and other urinary catheter (T83.518).
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 was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
