Other complications of other transplanted tissue

This code signifies a complication arising from a transplanted tissue other than an organ or bone marrow. These complications are diverse and can include issues like infection, rejection, or mechanical problems specific to the transplanted tissue. It is used when the specific type of complication is not further specified by a more precise code.

Apply this code when documenting a complication related to a tissue graft, such as skin, cornea, or pancreatic islet cells, that doesn't have a more specific ICD-10-CM code. This is appropriate when the nature of the complication, while known to be related to the transplant, is not detailed enough to use a more granular code. Use it after ruling out complications of specific organs or bone marrow transplants.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis describing the specific complication (e.g., infection, rejection).
• Ensure the medical record clearly indicates the transplanted tissue is not an organ or bone marrow.
• Avoid using this code if a more specific complication code for the transplanted tissue or the type of complication exists.
