I have researched until I blue in the face and no definitive answer which I need! If a living donor is having complications from the transplant surgery how would code the complications? Would it be T86.19 other complication of kidney transplant or would it be T81.9XXA for unspecified complication of procedure? My initial thought was that the T86.19 was recipient specific but then I was thinking if we bill all charges for the donor under the recipient using the Q3 modifier that we would use the T86.19 showing it was a complication from the transplant surgery and the Q3 is what directs them to know that the donor is having the complications but I may be overthinking it. I just need a definitive answer. Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated!
