About T85
T85 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for complications of other internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts. It belongs to 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 10 subcodes must be used instead.
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: T85.0 (shunt), T85.1 (system), T85.2 (lens), T85.3 (grafts), T85.4 (implant), T85.5 (grafts), T85.6 (grafts), T85.7 (grafts) and 2 more.
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of T85, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: failure and rejection of transplanted organs and tissue (T86.-).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Common questions about T85
Is T85 billable?
- No. T85 is a header code. Report one of its more specific subcodes instead.
