Kidney transplant ICD-10 code
The ICD-10-CM code for kidney transplant is Z94.0 — kidney transplant status. It is billable and valid for submission on a claim. There are 14 related codes, and which one you use depends on what the documentation supports.
Also written as renal transplant, transplant kidney.
The mistake coders make here
Z94.0 is transplant STATUS — a functioning graft, coded when the transplant is relevant history. T86.1- is for a transplant that is failing, rejecting, or infected. Coding Z94.0 when the graft is rejecting understates the encounter badly.
