T84.83XA vs T84.83XS
T84.83XA (Hemorrhage due to internal orthopedic prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, initial encounter) compared with T84.83XS (Hemorrhage due to internal orthopedic prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, sequela), from the official CMS tabular data. T84.83XA and T84.83XS code the same injury at a different phase of treatment.
Can these codes be reported together?
Same injury, other encounter phase. T84.83XA and T84.83XS 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.
