Presence of other functional implants (Z96)
The Z96 ICD-10 code section covers the presence of various functional implants in the body, such as joint prostheses, intraocular lenses, and insulin pumps. These codes identify patients with implanted medical devices to document their implant status during healthcare encounters.
This section includes specific codes like Z96.0 for urogenital implants (e.g., urinary catheters, penile prostheses), Z96.1 for intraocular lenses used after cataract surgery (also known as pseudophakia), and Z96.41 for insulin pumps. Orthopedic joint implants, such as artificial shoulders, hips, and knees, each have unique codes like Z96.611 for right shoulder joint implant and Z96.651 for right knee joint implant. Otological implants, including cochlear implants (Z96.21) and tympanic tubes (Z96.22), are covered as well. This coding structure helps medical coders accurately report the presence of specific implant types, aiding proper healthcare management and billing by recognizing devices like artificial larynxes, neurostimulators, and tooth-root implants.

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.
