About T85.698
T85.698 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other mechanical complication of other specified internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts. 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 T85.69, choose T85.698 (other specified internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: cranial or spinal infusion catheter (T85.690), intraperitoneal dialysis catheter (T85.691), permanent sutures (T85.692), artificial skin graft and decellularized allodermis (T85.693), insulin pump (T85.694) and other nervous system device, implant or graft (T85.695).
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.
7th character
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T85
