About T83.59

T83.59 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for infection and inflammatory reaction due to prosthetic device, implant and graft in urinary system. 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 8 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T83.5 (infection and inflammatory reaction due to prosthetic device, implant and graft in urinary system), T83.59 is specifically for infection and inflammatory reaction due to prosthetic device, implant and graft in urinary system. Related codes cover urinary catheter (T83.51).

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 hasn't changed since.

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T83
