Y62.1 ICD-10-CM Code: Failure of sterile precautions during infusion or transfusion

Y62.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for failure of sterile precautions during infusion or transfusion. An infusion or blood transfusion procedure where sterile techniques were not properly maintained, risking infection. Y62.1 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for external causes of morbidity (v00-y99), within the section covering misadventures to patients during surgical and medical care (y62-y69).

Y62.1 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Use with codes for the type of infusion or transfusion being administered.
