T82.7XXA ICD-10-CM Code: Infection and inflammatory reaction due to other cardiac and vascular devices, implants and grafts, 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 314 — OTHER CIRCULATORY SYSTEM DIAGNOSES WITH MCC (MDC 05)
  • MS-DRG 315 — OTHER CIRCULATORY SYSTEM DIAGNOSES WITH CC (MDC 05)
  • MS-DRG 316 — OTHER CIRCULATORY SYSTEM DIAGNOSES WITHOUT CC/MCC (MDC 05)

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

Infection and inflammatory reaction due to other cardiac and vascular devices, implants and grafts, initial encounter is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code (T82.7A).

Official Tabular Instructional Notes

Sequencing, inclusion, and exclusion notes published for T82.7XXA in the official ICD-10-CM tabular list.

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 to identify infection
  • 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)

Frequently Compared Codes

The official Excludes notes on T82.7XXA name these codes. Each comparison page covers when the two can — or must not — be reported together.

Change history

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

Verify Before Coding

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

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 213 clinically related codes on its CMS exclusion list.

Named in the grouper logic of 3 MS-DRGs: DRG 314 (MDC 05), DRG 315 (MDC 05), DRG 316 (MDC 05).

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