Code Classification

  • Factors influencing health status and contact with health services
    (Z00–Z99)
    • Blood type
      (Z67)
      • Blood type
        (Z67)

Z67.9 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of unspecified blood type. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like Z67.9 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Specific Coding Applicable to Unspecified blood type

Non-specific codes like Z67.9 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for unspecified blood type:

  • Use Z67.90 for Unspecified blood type, Rh positive - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use Z67.91 for Unspecified blood type, Rh negative - BILLABLE CODE

Clinical Information

  • ABO Blood Group|ABO Blood Type|ABO blood group system|ABO_Type

    a blood group system based on recognition of inherited differences in the h antigen as expressed on erythrocytes.
  • Blood Group A|A|Blood Type A

    a blood group indicating the presence on erythrocytes of only the a form of the h antigen.
  • Blood Group AB|AB|Blood Type AB

    a blood group indicating the presence on erythrocytes of both the a and b forms of the h antigen.
  • Blood Group B|B|Blood Type B

    a blood group indicating the presence on erythrocytes of only the b form of the h antigen.
  • Blood Group O|Blood Type O|O

    a blood group indicating the absence on erythrocytes of both the a and b forms of the h antigen.
  • Blood Group|Blood Type

    a classification of blood based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of erythrocytes.
  • Blood Type

    the specific reaction pattern of erythrocytes of an individual to the antisera of one blood group; e.g., the abo blood group consists of four major blood types: o, a, b, and ab. this classification depends on the presence or absence of two major antigens: a or b. type o occurs when neither is present and type ab when both are present. the blood type is the genetic phenotype of the individual for one blood group system and may be determined using different antisera available for testing.
  • Blood Type Determination

    a diagnostic test to classify the blood type of an individual. it is determined based on the presence or absence of certain antigens on the red blood cells surface.
