T85.615Breakdown (mechanical) of other nervous system device, implant or graft

T85.615 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for breakdown (mechanical) of other nervous system device, implant or graft. 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 T85.61, choose T85.615 (other nervous system device, implant or graft) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: cranial or spinal infusion catheter (T85.610), intraperitoneal dialysis catheter (T85.611), permanent sutures (T85.612), artificial skin graft and decellularized allodermis (T85.613), insulin pump (T85.614) and other specified internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T85.618).

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.
