Is T86.01 an HCC code?

Yes. T86.01 (Bone marrow transplant rejection) maps to HCC 454, Stem Cell, Including Bone Marrow, Transplant Status/Complications under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, with a source-labeled community non-dual aged reference coefficient of 1.068. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes. It is billable for payment year 2026.

Coder answer: T86.01 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 454, Stem Cell, Including Bone Marrow, Transplant Status/Complications. Open it in the Code Book for the tabular path, RAF, and MEAT checklist.

These are source-labeled model coefficients, not member totals. A category may still be removed by hierarchy or model cleanup rules. Weights are not directly comparable across models: CMS-HCC V28 and V24 use Community, Non-Dual, Aged; ESRD uses the dialysis continuing-enrollee model; RxHCC is the Part D continuing-enrollee, non-low-income, aged weight (a larger scale than CMS-HCC). ACA/HHS has no single weight — it varies by metal level. Actual per-patient RAF contribution depends on member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and the model year used by the payer. V28 is the CMS-HCC model phased in over payment years 2024–2026; V24 remains available for historical review.

MEAT review for T86.01

For T86.01, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule.

  • MMonitor: signs, symptoms, disease progression, or lab trending documented in the note
  • EEvaluate: test results, medication response, or physical findings reviewed by the provider
  • AAssess: explicit mention in the assessment or plan with acknowledgment of status
  • TTreat: medication, referral, procedure, therapy, or counseling tied to the diagnosis

What This Code Means

T86.01 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for bone marrow transplant rejection. The transplanted bone marrow is rejected by the recipient's immune system, causing the graft to fail and stop producing blood cells. T86.01 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (s00-t88), within the section covering complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified (t80-t88).

Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, T86.01 maps to Stem Cell, Including Bone Marrow, Transplant Status/Complications (HCC 454) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 1.068. For CY2026 non-PACE Medicare Advantage, CMS uses 100% of the 2024 CMS-HCC model (V28). PACE uses a separate model blend. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes.

Document the timeframe of rejection (acute vs. chronic) if available, as this may affect clinical management. For T86.01, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule. When documentation is ambiguous, coders should issue a provider query rather than assume the highest-specificity variant.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for T86.01 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Document the timeframe of rejection (acute vs. chronic) if available, as this may affect clinical management
  • Include seventh character for episode of care and consider additional codes for resulting cytopenias or infections

Clinical Significance

This represents bone marrow transplant rejection where the recipient's immune system attacks the transplanted cells, leading to graft failure and potential life-threatening complications. This requires immediate intervention with increased immunosuppression and possible re-transplantation, representing a critical medical emergency in transplant recipients.

Documentation Requirements

  • Documentation of bone marrow transplant rejection
  • Evidence of immune-mediated graft destruction
  • Laboratory findings supporting rejection
  • Date of original transplant
  • Current treatment for rejection
  • Immunosuppressive medication regimen
  • Monitoring parameters and response
  • Plans for intervention or re-transplantation

Commonly Confused Codes

  • T86.00: Unspecified bone marrow transplant complication
  • T86.02: Bone marrow transplant failure (non-rejection)
  • T86.09: Other bone marrow transplant complications
  • D89.813: Graft-versus-host disease

T86.01 maps to CMS-HCC V28 category 454, Stem Cell, Including Bone Marrow, Transplant Status/Complications. See the ICD-10 to HCC mapping hub for how the V28 crosswalk works. The mapping identifies a payment HCC category for T86.01. Review its source-labeled HCC coefficient above, check the RAF Calculator with complete member context for CMS-HCC V28 PY2026, and confirm the documentation the chart needs before the code is submitted. HCC Buddy shows no RAF score unless every required source and calculation check passes.
