T80.2 is the authoritative medical code for Infections following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection. This classification is used in medical billing and clinical recording to specify the clinical criteria for infections following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection (ICD-10-CM T80.2), ensuring healthcare documentation aligns with 2026 federal coding standards.
Billing Status: NO. This is a clinician non-billable / parent hierarchy grouping in the ICD-10-CM system.
Official Registry Overview & Definition
Infections following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code T80.2. A more specific billable subcode must be selected for claims submission.

Use additional code: code to identify the specific infection, such as:; sepsis A41.9; code R65.2- to identify severe sepsis, if applicable. 7th character: The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T80.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) & Clinical Guidance
Can T80.2 be billed directly?
No. T80.2 (Infections following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection) is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code. A more specific billable subcode must be selected based on clinical documentation.
Does T80.2 require a 7th character?
Yes. The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T80.
Can T80.2 be reported alongside related conditions?
Per Excludes2 instructions, T80.2 and the following may both be reported when both are present: infections specified as due to prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T82.6-T82.7, T83.5-T83.6, T84.5-T84.7, T85.7); postprocedural infections (T81.4-); bone marrow transplant rejection (T86.01); febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction (R50.84).
Is an additional code needed with T80.2?
Use additional code(s) to specify: code to identify the specific infection, such as:; sepsis (A41.9); code (R65.2-) to identify severe sepsis, if applicable.
