J95.7 vs T86

J95.7 (Accidental puncture and laceration of a respiratory system organ or structure during a procedure) compared with T86 (Complications of transplanted organs and tissue), from the official CMS tabular data. Both may be reported when both conditions are documented (Excludes2).

Can these codes be reported together?

Yes, when both are documented. T86 carries an Excludes2 note covering J95.7: “intraoperative and postprocedural complications of specified body systems (D78.-, E36.-, E89.-, G97.3-, G97.4, H59.3-, H59.-, H95.2-, H95.3, I97.4-, I97.5, J95.6-, J95.7, K91.6-, L76.-, M96.-, N99.-)”

Excludes2 marks distinct conditions — both may be reported when both are documented.
