Z30.01Encounter for initial prescription of contraceptives

Z30.01 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for encounter for initial prescription of contraceptives. It belongs to category Z30 (encounter for contraceptive management), block Z30-Z39 (persons encountering health services in circumstances related to reproduction) and chapter 21 (factors influencing health status and contact with health services). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 9 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Z30.0 (encounter for general counseling and advice on contraception), Z30.01 is specifically for encounter for initial prescription of contraceptives. Related codes cover counseling and instruction in natural family planning to avoid pregnancy (Z30.02) and encounter for other general counseling and advice on contraception (Z30.09).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z30.011 (pills), Z30.012 (contraception), Z30.013 (contraceptive), Z30.014 (device), Z30.015 (contraceptive), Z30.016 (device), Z30.017 (contraceptive), Z30.018 (contraceptives) and 1 more.

Don't report Z30.01 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: encounter for surveillance of contraceptives (Z30.4-).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
