T85.818Embolism due to other internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts

T85.818 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for embolism due to other 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 T85.81, choose T85.818 (other internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: nervous system prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T85.810).

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.
