7th Character Required

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

This code is not valid for billing without a 7th character. Append one of the following to T85.09:

Inclusion Terms

  • Obstruction (mechanical) of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt
  • Perforation of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt
  • Protrusion of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt

Also Indexed As(ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index)

These clinical terms, synonyms, and manifestations all map to T85.09 in the official ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index.
