Z94 — Transplanted organ and tissue status
Z94 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for transplanted organ and tissue status. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- complications of transplanted organ or tissue - see Alphabetical Index
Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist
The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.
- presence of vascular grafts (Z95.-)
Includes
Conditions this code covers.
- organ or tissue replaced by heterogenous or homogenous transplant
Other codes that can never be billed with Z94
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Z94. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Z94 alone.
- Z18Retained foreign body fragments
Risk adjustment
Z94 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Code to one of these instead Z94
