M Non-healing surgical wounds in ICD-10 ICD-10-CM is very specific and many easy-to-adapt codes such as non-healing wounds have been replaced by dedicated categories. Use T81.89X (A, D, or S) along with a secondary code for the complication/manifestation.
My best guess is to code T81.89XS and S31.109D (the patient has an open wound due to a surgical procedure that is slow to heal but is NOT dehisced or infected, so it is an complication of surgery-sequela/open wound in the healing status) Vernell Hester.
