T83.6Infection and inflammatory reaction due to prosthetic device, implant and graft in genital tract

T83.6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for infection and inflammatory reaction due to prosthetic device, implant and graft in genital tract. 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 6 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T83 (complications of genitourinary prosthetic devices, implants and grafts), T83.6 is specifically for infection and inflammatory reaction due to prosthetic device, implant and graft in genital tract. Related codes cover mechanical complication of urinary catheter (T83.0), mechanical complication of other urinary devices and implants (T83.1), mechanical complication of graft of urinary organ (T83.2), mechanical complication of intrauterine contraceptive device (T83.3), mechanical complication of other prosthetic devices, implants and grafts of genital tract (T83.4), infection and inflammatory reaction due to prosthetic device, implant and graft in urinary system (T83.5), complications due to implanted mesh and other prosthetic materials (T83.7), other specified complications of genitourinary prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T83.8) and 1 more.

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.

Use an additional code to identify infection.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
