ICD-10/T83.122A

T83.122A ICD-10-CM Code: Displacement of indwelling ureteral stent, 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 698 — OTHER KIDNEY AND URINARY TRACT DIAGNOSES WITH MCC (MDC 11)
  • MS-DRG 699 — OTHER KIDNEY AND URINARY TRACT DIAGNOSES WITH CC (MDC 11)
  • MS-DRG 700 — OTHER KIDNEY AND URINARY TRACT DIAGNOSES WITHOUT CC/MCC (MDC 11)

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

Displacement of indwelling ureteral stent, initial encounter is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code (T83.122A).

Official Tabular Instructional Notes

Sequencing, inclusion, and exclusion notes published for T83.122A 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 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)

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.

Relationships & Classification

Clinical classification (AHRQ CCSR):INJ034 — Complication of genitourinary device, implant or graft, initial encounter (default).

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 115 clinically related codes on its CMS exclusion list.

Named in the grouper logic of 3 MS-DRGs: DRG 698 (MDC 11), DRG 699 (MDC 11), DRG 700 (MDC 11).

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