Z30.8Encounter for other contraceptive management

Z30.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for encounter for other contraceptive management. 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, choose Z30.8 (other contraceptive management) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: general counseling and advice on contraception (Z30.0), sterilization (Z30.2), surveillance of contraceptives (Z30.4) and unspecified (Z30.9).

Don't report Z30.8 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: sperm count following sterilization reversal (Z31.42) and sperm count for fertility testing (Z31.41).

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as V25.3 (menstrual extraction), V25.5 (insertion of implantable subdermal contraceptive) and V25.8 (other specified contraceptive management).
