T81.72XD vs T82.8
T81.72XD (Complication of vein following a procedure, not elsewhere classified, subsequent encounter) compared with T82.8 (Other specified complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts), 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. T81.72XD carries an Excludes2 note covering T82.8: “embolism due to prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T82.8-, T83.81, T84.8-, T85.81-)”
Excludes2 marks distinct conditions — both may be reported when both are documented.
