About Z40.82

Z40.82 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for encounter for prophylactic surgery for removal of fallopian tube(s) for persons without known genetic/familial risk factors. It belongs to category Z40 (encounter for prophylactic surgery), block Z40-Z53 (Encounters for other specific health care) 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 Z40.8, choose Z40.82 (prophylactic surgery for removal of fallopian tube(s) for persons without known genetic/familial risk factors) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: prophylactic surgery for removal of ovary(s) for persons without known genetic/familial risk factors (Z40.81) and other prophylactic surgery (Z40.89).

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 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.8456), DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.2974), DRG 760 (Menstrual and Other Female Reproductive System Disorders with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.0129) and DRG 761 (Menstrual and Other Female Reproductive System Disorders without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7041), in MDC 13 (Diseases and Disorders of the Female Reproductive System), 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 exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.

It was added in FY2026, effective October 1, 2025.
