About T85.193
T85.193 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other mechanical complication of implanted electronic neurostimulator, generator. 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.
Within T85.19 (other mechanical complication of implanted electronic stimulator of nervous system), T85.193 is specifically for other mechanical complication of implanted electronic neurostimulator, generator. Related codes cover implanted electronic neurostimulator of brain electrode (lead) (T85.190), implanted electronic neurostimulator of peripheral nerve electrode (lead) (T85.191), implanted electronic neurostimulator of spinal cord electrode (lead) (T85.192) and other implanted electronic stimulator of nervous system (T85.199).
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.
7th character
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T85
