Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to Z97.5: its own notes plus those printed at Z97, block Z77-Z99, and Chapter 21. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Excludes1

Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

On Z97.5 itself
  • checking, reinsertion or removal of implantable subdermal contraceptive (Z30.46)
  • checking, reinsertion or removal of intrauterine contraceptive device (Z30.43-)
From Z97 Presence of other devices applies to 13 codes
  • complications of internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T82-T85)

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.

From Z97 Presence of other devices applies to 13 codes
  • fitting and adjustment of prosthetic and other devices (Z44-Z46)
  • presence of cerebrospinal fluid drainage device (Z98.2)

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.

Questions About Z97.5Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for presence of (intrauterine) contraceptive device?

The ICD-10-CM code for presence of (intrauterine) contraceptive device is Z97.5 (sometimes written as Z975). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Is Z97.5 (Presence of other devices) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report presence of (intrauterine) contraceptive device on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does Z97.5 group to?

On inpatient claims, presence of (intrauterine) contraceptive device maps to MS-DRG 951 (other Factors Influencing Health Status), which carries a relative weight of 0.5574. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Can Z97.5 be a principal diagnosis?

No. The Medicare Code Editor rejects this code as a principal diagnosis because presence of (intrauterine) contraceptive device describes a circumstance that influences health status rather than a current illness. Report it as a secondary diagnosis.

Is Z97.5 exempt from POA reporting?

Yes. CMS lists this code among those exempt from present on admission reporting, so hospitals do not assign a POA indicator for presence of (intrauterine) contraceptive device on inpatient claims. The code appears in the Persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status (Z77-Z99) range of the CMS exempt list.
