T85.43Leakage of breast prosthesis and implant

T85.43 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for leakage of breast prosthesis and implant. 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 T85.4 (mechanical complication of breast prosthesis and implant), T85.43 is specifically for leakage of breast prosthesis and implant. Related codes cover breakdown (mechanical) of breast prosthesis and implant (T85.41), displacement of breast prosthesis and implant (T85.42), capsular contracture of breast implant (T85.44) and other mechanical complication of breast prosthesis and implant (T85.49).

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.
