Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) & Clinical Guidance
Does T81.12XD require a 7th character?
Yes. The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T81.
What can't be coded together with T81.12XD?
Per official ICD-10-CM Excludes1 instructions, T81.12XD must not be reported together with: anaphylactic shock NOS (T78.2); anaphylactic shock due to correct substance properly administered (T88.6); anaphylactic shock due to serum (T80.5-); electric shock (T75.4).
Can T81.12XD be reported alongside related conditions?
Per official ICD-10-CM Excludes2 instructions, T81.12XD and the following are not considered part of each other and may both be reported when both conditions are present: complications following immunization (T88.0-T88.1); complications following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection (T80.-); complications of transplanted organs and tissue (T86.-); specified complications classified elsewhere, such as:.
Does T81.12XD need to be sequenced after another code?
Yes. Code first: underlying infection.
Is an additional code needed with T81.12XD?
Use additional code(s) to specify: code, to identify any associated acute organ dysfunction, if applicable; code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5); code(s) to identify the specified condition resulting from the complication; code to identify devices involved and details of circumstances (Y62-Y82).
