ICD-10/T83.721S

T83.721S ICD-10-CM Code: Exposure of implanted vaginal mesh into vagina, sequela

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 922 — OTHER INJURY, POISONING AND TOXIC EFFECT DIAGNOSES WITH MCC (MDC 21)
  • MS-DRG 923 — OTHER INJURY, POISONING AND TOXIC EFFECT DIAGNOSES 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.
