T82.0 vs T82.2

T82.0 (Mechanical complication of heart valve prosthesis) compared with T82.2 (Mechanical complication of coronary artery bypass graft and biological heart valve graft), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.

Can these codes be reported together?

No — do not report together. T82.2 carries an Excludes1 note covering T82.0: “mechanical complication of artificial heart valve prosthesis (T82.0-)”

Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
