T86.29Other complications of heart transplant

T86.29 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other complications of heart transplant. It belongs to category T86 (complications of transplanted organs and tissue), 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T86.2, choose T86.29 (Other complications of heart transplant) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified complication of heart transplant (T86.20), heart transplant rejection (T86.21), heart transplant failure (T86.22) and heart transplant infection (T86.23).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: T86.290 (vasculopathy) and T86.298 (transplant).

Use an additional code to identify other transplant complications, such as: graft-versus-host disease (D89.81-), malignancy associated with organ transplant (C80.2) and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) (D47.Z1).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
