Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to Z95: its own notes plus those printed at block Z77-Z99 and Chapter 21. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

  • complications of cardiac and vascular devices, implants and grafts (T82.-)

Code Also

A second code may be needed to fully describe the condition; the note gives no sequencing direction.

From Block Z77-Z99 Persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status applies to 567 codes
  • any follow-up examination (Z08-Z09)

Notes

General instructions on how these codes are used.

From Chapter 21 (Z00-Z99) Factors influencing health status and contact with health services applies to 1,425 codes
  • Z codes represent reasons for encounters. A corresponding procedure code must accompany a Z code if a procedure is performed. Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00-Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
  • (a) When a person who may or may not be sick encounters the health services for some specific purpose, such as to receive limited care or service for a current condition, to donate an organ or tissue, to receive prophylactic vaccination (immunization), or to discuss a problem which is in itself not a disease or injury.
  • (b) When some circumstance or problem is present which influences the person's health status but is not in itself a current illness or injury.
