T85.19Other mechanical complication of implanted electronic stimulator of nervous system

T85.19 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other mechanical complication of implanted electronic stimulator of nervous system. It belongs to category T85 (complications of other internal 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 5 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T85.1, choose T85.19 (Other mechanical complication of implanted electronic stimulator of nervous system) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: breakdown (mechanical) of implanted electronic stimulator of nervous system (T85.11) and displacement of implanted electronic stimulator of nervous system (T85.12).

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.
