Unspecified complication of corneal transplant, bilateral

This code signifies an unstated adverse event or problem affecting both eyes following a corneal transplant procedure. It indicates that a complication has occurred in both transplanted corneas, but the specific nature of that complication has not been documented or identified.

Apply this code when a patient presents with a bilateral complication after a corneal transplant, and the medical record does not specify the exact nature of the complication (e.g., infection, rejection, graft failure, etc.). This code is appropriate when the physician explicitly states "unspecified complication" or similar vague terminology for both eyes.

• Ensure documentation clearly indicates a bilateral complication and the lack of specificity regarding its type.
• Avoid using this code if a more specific complication (e.g., T86.840 for graft rejection) is documented for either eye.
• Query the provider for more specific details if possible to allow for more precise coding.
