About coding transplant failure
The ICD-10-CM code for transplant failure is T86.92 (Unspecified transplanted organ and tissue failure). The official index lists 14 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on T86.92.
Within T86.9, choose T86.92 (Unspecified transplanted organ and tissue failure) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified complication of unspecified transplanted organ and tissue (T86.90), unspecified transplanted organ and tissue rejection (T86.91), unspecified transplanted organ and tissue infection (T86.93) and other complications of unspecified transplanted organ and tissue (T86.99).
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).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
