T86.92 ICD-10-CM Code: Unspecified transplanted organ and tissue failure
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 919 — COMPLICATIONS OF TREATMENT WITH MCC (MDC 21)
- MS-DRG 920 — COMPLICATIONS OF TREATMENT WITH CC (MDC 21)
- MS-DRG 921 — COMPLICATIONS OF TREATMENT WITHOUT CC/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.

Use Additional Code
Supplementary codes the tabular list directs you to add.
- Use additional 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)
- 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.

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 50 clinically related codes on its CMS exclusion list.
Named in the grouper logic of 3 MS-DRGs: DRG 919 (MDC 21), DRG 920 (MDC 21), DRG 921 (MDC 21).
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual (Appendices B and C). Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
