T82.49XD (also written T8249XD) is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other complication of vascular dialysis catheter, subsequent encounter. It is part of the FY2027 code set, effective October 1, 2026. It is one of the 297 codes in category T82 (Complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts). The Alphabetic Index lists it under 6 entries. Its 7th character, D, means subsequent encounter. Its coding notes include a Use additional code instruction, 1 Excludes1 entry and 24 Excludes2 entries.

7th character

Guidelines tips

From the FY2027 Official Guidelines. ICD10Ref adds no rules of its own.

The 7th character depends on whether the patient is in active treatment, not on who sees the patient. An aftercare Z code is not used for injury aftercare.

Guidelines I.C.19.aInjuries: application of 7th charactersRead the official text

A complication code needs the provider's documented cause-and-effect link between the care and the condition. Some T codes already include the type of procedure, so no external cause code is needed.

Excludes2

Not included here. Both codes may be reported if the patient has both conditions.

Inherited from T82 Complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts
  • failure and rejection of transplanted organs and tissue (T86.-)
Also from chapter/block level (23 notes)
Inherited from T80–T88 Complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified
  • any encounters with medical care for postprocedural conditions in which no complications are present, such as:
    • artificial opening status (Z93.-)
    • closure of external stoma (Z43.-)
    • fitting and adjustment of external prosthetic device (Z44.-)

Inclusion terms

Conditions classified to this code.

Inherited from T82.49 Other complication of vascular dialysis catheter
  • Obstruction (mechanical) of vascular dialysis catheter
  • Perforation of vascular dialysis catheter
  • Protrusion of vascular dialysis catheter

Notes

Also from chapter/block level (2 notes)
Inherited from Chapter 19 Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes
  • 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.
