About coding TAD
The ICD-10-CM code for TAD is J95.87 (Transfusion-associated dyspnea (TAD)).
Within J95.8 (other intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified), J95.87 is specifically for Transfusion-associated dyspnea (TAD). Related codes cover postprocedural pneumothorax and air leak (J95.81), postprocedural respiratory failure (J95.82), postprocedural hemorrhage of a respiratory system organ or structure following a procedure (J95.83), Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) (J95.84), complication of respirator [ventilator] (J95.85), postprocedural hematoma and seroma of a respiratory system organ or structure following a procedure (J95.86), other intraoperative complications of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified (J95.88) and other postprocedural complications and disorders of respiratory system, not elsewhere classified (J95.89).
Don't report J95.87 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: transfusion associated circulatory overload (TACO) (E87.71) and transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) (J95.84).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for J95.87)
