About Z30.017
Z30.017 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for encounter for initial prescription of implantable subdermal contraceptive. 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 billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Within Z30.01 (encounter for initial prescription of contraceptives), Z30.017 is specifically for encounter for initial prescription of implantable subdermal contraceptive. Related codes cover initial prescription of contraceptive pills (Z30.011), prescription of emergency contraception (Z30.012), initial prescription of injectable contraceptive (Z30.013), initial prescription of intrauterine contraceptive device (Z30.014), initial prescription of vaginal ring hormonal contraceptive (Z30.015), initial prescription of transdermal patch hormonal contraceptive device (Z30.016), initial prescription of other contraceptives (Z30.018) and unspecified (Z30.019).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
It is not acceptable as the principal diagnosis for an inpatient stay; it may be reported as a secondary diagnosis.
It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.
It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as V25.02 (general counseling on initiation of other contraceptive measures).
