T86 is the authoritative medical code for Complications of transplanted organs and tissue. This classification is used in medical billing and clinical recording to specify the clinical criteria for complications of transplanted organs and tissue (ICD-10-CM T86), ensuring healthcare documentation aligns with 2026 federal coding standards.
Billing Status: NO. This is a clinician non-billable / parent hierarchy grouping in the ICD-10-CM system.
Official Registry Overview & Definition
Complications of transplanted organs and tissue is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code T86. A more specific billable subcode must be selected for claims submission. Excludes2 (not included here): any encounters with medical care for postprocedural conditions in which no complications are present, such as:; artificial opening status Z93.-; closure of external stoma Z43.-; fitting and adjustment of external prosthetic device Z44.-; burns and corrosions from local applications and irradiation T20-T32; complications of surgical procedures during pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium O00-O9A; mechanical complication of respirator ventilator; poisoning and toxic effects of drugs and chemicals (T36-T65 with fifth or sixth character 1-4 or 6); postprocedural fever R50.82; specified complications classified elsewhere, such as:; cerebrospinal fluid leak from spinal puncture G97.0; colostomy malfunction K94.0-; disorders of fluid and electrolyte imbalance E86-E87; functional disturbances following cardiac surgery I97.0-I97.1; intraoperative and postprocedural complications of specified body systems (D78.-, E36.-, E89.-, G97.3-, G97.4, H59.3-, H59.-, H95.2-, H95.3, I97.4-, I97.5, J95.6-, J95.7, K91.6-, L76.-, M96.-, N99.-); ostomy complications (J95.0-, K94.-, N99.5-); postgastric surgery syndromes K91.1; postlaminectomy syndrome NEC M96.1; postmastectomy lymphedema syndrome I97.2; postsurgical blind-loop syndrome K91.2; ventilator associated pneumonia J95.851. Use additional code: code to identify other transplant complications, such as:; graft-versus-host disease D89.81-; malignancy associated with organ transplant C80.2; post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders PTLD D47.Z1.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) & Clinical Guidance
Can T86 be billed directly?
No. T86 (Complications of transplanted organs and tissue) is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code. A more specific billable subcode must be selected based on clinical documentation.
Can T86 be reported alongside related conditions?
Per Excludes2 instructions, T86 and the following may both be reported when both are present: any encounters with medical care for postprocedural conditions in which no complications are present, such as:; artificial opening status (Z93.-); closure of external stoma (Z43.-); fitting and adjustment of external prosthetic device (Z44.-).
Is an additional code needed with T86?
Use additional code(s) to specify: code to identify other transplant complications, such as:; graft-versus-host disease (D89.81-); malignancy associated with organ transplant (C80.2); post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) (D47.Z1).
