Questions About Z98.62Overview
Is Z98.62 (Angioplasty status) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report peripheral vascular angioplasty status on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
Can Z98.62 be a principal diagnosis?
No. The Medicare Code Editor rejects this code as a principal diagnosis because peripheral vascular angioplasty status describes a circumstance that influences health status rather than a current illness. Report it as a secondary diagnosis.
Is Z98.62 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 peripheral vascular angioplasty status on inpatient claims.
What is the ICD-9 equivalent of Z98.62?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, peripheral vascular angioplasty status converts to ICD-9-CM V45.89 (post-proc states NEC). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.
