What ICD-10 codes are used for CABG?
There are quite a number of CABG ICD codes that you can select from, but we will focus on ICD-10 codes related to complications that arise from CABG.
Please note that the following codes have one of three specific terms:
- Initial encounter: This means the patient receives active CABG-related complication treatment.
- Subsequent encounter: This means the patient is in the recovery phase but is still being given routine care for their CABG-related complication.
- Sequela: This means the patient is dealing with the late effects of a particular problem (CABG-related, in this case). Given this, ICD-10 codes with this label should be accompanied by two other ICD-10 codes, one of which should designate the sequela's nature, while the other should describe the sequela (meaning its effects).
Here are the CABG-related ICD-10 codes:
T82.211: Breakdown (mechanical) of coronary artery bypass graft
More specific codes:
- T82.211A - Breakdown (mechanical) of coronary artery bypass graft, initial encounter
- T82.211D - Breakdown (mechanical) of coronary artery bypass graft, subsequent encounter
- T82.211S - Breakdown (mechanical) of coronary artery bypass graft, sequela
T82.212: Displacement of coronary artery bypass graft
More specific codes:
- T82.212A - Displacement of coronary artery bypass graft, initial encounter
- T82.212D - Displacement of coronary artery bypass graft, subsequent encounter
- T82.212S - Displacement of coronary artery bypass graft, sequela
T82.213: Leakage of coronary artery bypass graft
More specific codes:
- T82.213A - Leakage of coronary artery bypass graft, initial encounter
- T82.213D - Leakage of coronary artery bypass graft, subsequent encounter
- T82.213S - Leakage of coronary artery bypass graft, sequela
T82.218: Other mechanical complication of coronary artery bypass graft
More specific codes:
- T82.218A - Other mechanical complication of coronary artery bypass graft, initial encounter
- T82.218D - Other mechanical complication of coronary artery bypass graft, subsequent encounter
- T82.218S - Other mechanical complication of coronary artery bypass graft, sequela
