Other postprocedural states (Z98) ICD-10-CM
The Z98 code range covers other postprocedural states with 31 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 23 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2026, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
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.

About the Z98 Code Range
The Z98 ICD-10-CM codes cover various other postprocedural states, indicating a patient's medical status after surgical procedures or treatments. These codes are used to document conditions like intestinal bypass, arthrodesis, cataract extraction, sterilization, and statuses related to implanted devices or surgical history.
Each specific code within the Z98 category identifies a unique postprocedural condition. For example, Z98.0 records a history of intestinal bypass or anastomosis, sometimes called "history of gastrointestinal tract bypass," helping track prior bowel surgeries. Z98.1 denotes arthrodesis status, relating to past joint fusions like spinal or ankle surgery. Codes such as Z98.41 to Z98.49 specify cataract extraction status for right, left, or unspecified eyes, assisting in identifying patients with prior lens removal. Sterilization procedures are captured under Z98.51 for tubal ligation and Z98.52 for vasectomy status. Other examples include Z98.61 for coronary angioplasty and Z98.82 for breast implant status. The broad range under Z98.8 and related codes covers many other postprocedural conditions, including dental work, filtering blebs after glaucoma surgery, and history of breast implant removal. Using the correct ICD-10 code for these postprocedural states ensures precise documentation of a patient's medical history following diverse surgical interventions.
