T85.732Infection and inflammatory reaction due to implanted electronic neurostimulator of peripheral nerve, electrode (lead)

T85.732 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for infection and inflammatory reaction due to implanted electronic neurostimulator of peripheral nerve, electrode (lead). 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 T85.73 (infection and inflammatory reaction due to nervous system devices, implants and graft), T85.732 is specifically for infection and inflammatory reaction due to implanted electronic neurostimulator of peripheral nerve, electrode (lead). Related codes cover ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt (T85.730), implanted electronic neurostimulator of brain, electrode (lead) (T85.731), implanted electronic neurostimulator of spinal cord, electrode (lead) (T85.733), implanted electronic neurostimulator, generator (T85.734), cranial or spinal infusion catheter (T85.735) and other nervous system device, implant or graft (T85.738).

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.
