T83.29XA vs T83.29XS
T83.29XA (Other mechanical complication of graft of urinary organ, initial encounter) compared with T83.29XS (Other mechanical complication of graft of urinary organ, sequela), from the official CMS tabular data. T83.29XA and T83.29XS code the same injury at a different phase of treatment.
Can these codes be reported together?
Same injury, other encounter phase. T83.29XA and T83.29XS 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.
