Use Additional CodeFrom T80-T88 Complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified (T80-T88)

Add a secondary code to identify the associated condition or cause when it is documented.

  • code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5)
  • code(s) to identify the specified condition resulting from the complication
  • code to identify devices involved and details of circumstances (Y62-Y82)
Excludes 2 — Not Included HereFrom Chapter S00-T88

Not part of this code; report both codes when the patient has both conditions.

  • birth trauma (P10-P15)
  • obstetric trauma (O70-O71)
Use Additional CodeFrom Chapter S00-T88

Add a secondary code to identify the associated condition or cause when it is documented.

  • code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
NotesFrom Chapter S00-T88

Instructional notes from the ICD-10-CM tabular list.

  • Use secondary code(s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code
  • The chapter uses the S-section for coding different types of injuries related to single body regions and the T-section to cover injuries to unspecified body regions as well as poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes.
