About coding operation wound granuloma
The ICD-10-CM code for operation wound granuloma is T81.89 (Other complications of procedures, not elsewhere classified). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on T81.89.
Within T81.8, choose T81.89 (Other complications of procedures, not elsewhere classified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: complication of inhalation therapy (T81.81), emphysema (subcutaneous) resulting from a procedure (T81.82) and persistent postprocedural fistula (T81.83).
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.
Use an additional code to specify complication, such as: postprocedural delirium (F05) and code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5).
