About Y74.8
Y74.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for miscellaneous general hospital and personal-use devices associated with adverse incidents, not elsewhere classified. It belongs to category Y74 (general hospital and personal-use devices associated with adverse incidents), block Y70-Y82 (medical devices associated with adverse incidents in diagnostic and therapeutic use) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Within Y74 (general hospital and personal-use devices associated with adverse incidents), Y74.8 is specifically for miscellaneous general hospital and personal-use devices associated with adverse incidents, not elsewhere classified. Related codes cover diagnostic and monitoring general hospital and personal-use devices associated with adverse incidents (Y74.0), therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative general hospital and personal-use devices associated with adverse incidents (Y74.1), prosthetic and other implants, materials and accessory general hospital and personal-use devices associated with adverse incidents (Y74.2) and surgical instruments, materials and general hospital and personal-use devices (including sutures) associated with adverse incidents (Y74.3).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
