Z31.4Encounter for procreative investigation and testing

Z31.4 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for encounter for procreative investigation and testing. It belongs to category Z31 (encounter for procreative 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 5 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Z31 (encounter for procreative management), Z31.4 is specifically for encounter for procreative investigation and testing. Related codes cover reversal of previous sterilization (Z31.0), procreative genetic counseling (Z31.5), general counseling and advice on procreation (Z31.6), and counseling for gestational carrier (Z31.7), other procreative management (Z31.8) and unspecified (Z31.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z31.41 (testing), Z31.42 (reversal), Z31.43 (management), Z31.44 (management) and Z31.49 (testing).

Don't report Z31.4 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: postvasectomy sperm count (Z30.8).

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