Complications of procedures, not elsewhere classified - T81

Use Additional Code: This note indicates that an additional code should be used in conjunction with the primary code "T81" to provide a complete picture of the patient's condition or to capture associated factors.

Use Additional:

code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5)

Excludes2: This note means that the conditions described by two codes are not usually associated with each other but can sometimes occur together.

Type 2 Excludes:

complications following immunization (T88.0-T88.1)
complications following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection (T80.-)
complications of transplanted organs and tissue (T86.-)
specified complications classified elsewhere, such as:
complication of prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T82-T85)
dermatitis due to drugs and medicaments (L23.3, L24.4, L25.1, L27.0-L27.1)
endosseous dental implant failure (M27.6-)
floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) (intraoperative) H21.81
intraoperative and postprocedural complications of specific body system (D78.-, E36.-, E89.-, G97.3-, G97.4, H59.3-, H59.-, H95.2-, H95.3, I97.4-, I97.5, J95, K91.-, L76.-, M96.-, N99.-)
ostomy complications (J95.0-, K94.-, N99.5-)
plateau iris syndrome (post-iridectomy) (postprocedural) H21.82
poisoning and toxic effects of drugs and chemicals (T36-T65 with fifth or sixth character 1-4 or 6)

The seventh character in ICD-10-CM is an essential component that adds specificity to diagnosis codes by indicating aspects like the encounter type, stage, or other relevant clinical details.

Category SevenChr Note:

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T81
