Coding instructions

Official Tabular Instructional Notes: the inclusion, exclusion and sequencing notes published for T85.32 in the official ICD-10-CM tabular list, quoted as published.

Notes without a marker are published on T85.32 itself; “inherited from” names the category or block whose note applies here.

Inclusion Terms

Alternative terms the tabular list files under this code.

  • Malposition of other ocular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts

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)

7th Character Guide

"The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T85"

  • A — initial encounter
  • D — subsequent encounter
  • S — sequela

How the encounter character is assigned. “Initial encounter” means the patient is receiving active treatment for the condition — it is not limited to the first visit, and a different or new provider giving active treatment still assigns it. “Subsequent encounter” covers care during the healing or recovery phase after active treatment. “Sequela” is for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of the original condition.

Decision Points

The directives on this code's own record, as a pre-claim checklist.

  1. A 7th character applies in this family. Confirm the documented encounter matches the character assigned. See the official 7th-character definitions and this code’s variants
  2. 3 Use Additional Code instructions — report the named additional code(s) when the documentation supports them. See the Use Additional Code notes
  3. 23 Excludes2 entries — those conditions are not part of this code and may be reported additionally when documented. See the Excludes2 notes

Checklist rows are derived from this code's own official directives; the wording of each check is MedCoder editorial. The official notes themselves are in the sections each row links to.

Verify Before Coding

Relationships & Classification

Other codes that name T85.32 or its code family, from the CMS ICD-10-CM tabular instructional notes. Tabular-note edges are stored at the code family level that carries each note.

Referenced by 2 Excludes1 notes across 2 chapters: T88.7 — Unspecified adverse effect of drug or medicament (via T85.-), Z97 — Presence of other devices (via T85.-).

These codes’ tabular lists mark this diagnosis as mutually exclusive — not reported together unless the conditions are documented as unrelated.

Referenced by 7 Excludes2 notes across 2 chapters: T78 — Adverse effects, not elsewhere classified (via T85.-), T79 — Certain early complications of trauma, not elsewhere classified (via T85.-), T81 — Complications of procedures, not elsewhere classified (via T85.-), T81.59 — Other complications of foreign body accidentally left in body following procedure (via T85.-), T86.84 — Complications of corneal transplant (via T85.3.-), T88 — Other complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified (via T85.-), Z96 — Presence of other functional implants (via T85.-).

These codes’ tabular lists name this diagnosis as distinct — both may be reported when both are documented.
