M96.1 vs T80.82XA
M96.1 (Postlaminectomy syndrome, not elsewhere classified) compared with T80.82XA (Complication of immune effector cellular therapy, initial encounter), 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. T80.82XA carries an Excludes2 note covering M96.1: “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.
Yes, when both are documented. T80.82XA carries an Excludes2 note covering M96.1: “postlaminectomy syndrome NEC (M96.1)”
Excludes2 marks distinct conditions — both may be reported when both are documented.
