Encounter for procreative management (Z31)
The ICD-10 code Z31 and its subcategories are used to classify medical encounters specifically related to procreative management. These codes cover a wide range of services, including fertility testing, genetic counseling, and procedures aimed at supporting or investigating reproductive health.
These codes help capture visits for various aspects of reproductive planning and assistance. For example, Z31.0 is used for encounters involving the reversal of previous sterilization, commonly referred to as "reversal of sterilization done." Codes like Z31.41 are assigned for fertility testing ("infertility study done"), while Z31.5 covers procreative genetic counseling, which involves consultation about heritable disorders for patients or fetuses. Genetic testing of both females and males for carrier status or other procreative considerations is coded under Z31.43 and Z31.44. Encounters for general procreative advice, including natural family planning (Z31.61) and fertility preservation counseling (Z31.62), are also included. Other codes capture assisted reproductive procedures and management of specific conditions like Rh incompatibility (Z31.82) or male factor infertility in a female patient (Z31.81). The unspecified code Z31.9 is applied when the procreative management encounter details are not specified, often used when patients are simply "trying to conceive."

Instructional Notations
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
