T82.42XA vs T82.42XD

T82.42XA (Displacement of vascular dialysis catheter, initial encounter) compared with T82.42XD (Displacement of vascular dialysis catheter, subsequent encounter), from the official CMS tabular data. T82.42XA and T82.42XD code the same injury at a different phase of treatment.

Can these codes be reported together?

Same injury, other encounter phase. T82.42XA and T82.42XD code the same injury at a different phase of treatment, set by the 7th character.

The 7th character records the type of care given at the encounter being coded (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.C.19.a), so one encounter takes one of these, not both.
