ICD-10/T80.51XA

T80.51XA ICD-10-CM Code: Anaphylactic reaction due to administration of blood and blood products, initial encounter

Billing Status: YES. This is a valid, specific, and billable ICD-10-CM reference.

Inpatient Payment Groups (MS-DRG)

MS-DRGs this diagnosis helps define, as principal or secondary, per the CMS ICD-10-CM/PCS MS-DRG Definitions Manual v43.0, Appendix B.

  • MS-DRG 791 — PREMATURITY WITH MAJOR PROBLEMS (MDC 15)
  • MS-DRG 793 — FULL TERM NEONATE WITH MAJOR PROBLEMS (MDC 15)
  • MS-DRG 915 — ALLERGIC REACTIONS WITH MCC (MDC 21)
  • MS-DRG 916 — ALLERGIC REACTIONS WITHOUT MCC (MDC 21)

A diagnosis appearing in a group's logic does not by itself determine the DRG assigned to a stay; the grouper uses the full claim.

Official Registry Overview & Definition

Anaphylactic reaction due to administration of blood and blood products, initial encounter is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code (T80.51A).

Official Tabular Instructional Notes

Sequencing, inclusion, and exclusion notes published for T80.51XA in the official ICD-10-CM tabular list.

Includes

Conditions the official ICD-10-CM tabular list includes under this code.

  • complications following perfusion

Excludes1 — Not Coded Here

Conditions generally not reported together with this code (Excludes1) -- an error unless the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).

Excludes2 — Not Included Here

Conditions not covered by this code, but which may be reported alongside it when both are present.

Use Additional Code

Supplementary codes the tabular list directs you to add.

  • Use additional code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5)
  • Use additional code(s) to identify the specified condition resulting from the complication
  • Use additional code to identify devices involved and details of circumstances (Y62-Y82)

Change history

No changes recorded for this code — unchanged since the FY2016 baseline of the change ledger.

Verify Before Coding

  • Billable — reportable as written.
  • CC as a secondary diagnosis (FY2026). Can raise the stay's MS-DRG severity tier.

From the code registry, the Medicare Code Editor, and the MS-DRG Definitions Manual. Check it against a full claim.

Potential MS-DRG Relationships (FY2026)

CC — Complication or Comorbidity. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, this code raises the stay's MS-DRG severity tier — except when the principal diagnosis is one of 6 clinically related codes on its CMS exclusion list.

Named in the grouper logic of 4 MS-DRGs: DRG 791 (MDC 15), DRG 793 (MDC 15), DRG 915 (MDC 21), DRG 916 (MDC 21).

From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual (Appendices B and C). Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
