Z48.29Encounter for aftercare following other organ transplant

Z48.29 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for encounter for aftercare following other organ transplant. It belongs to category Z48 (encounter for other postprocedural aftercare), block Z40-Z53 (Encounters for other specific health care) 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Z48.2, choose Z48.29 (other organ transplant) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: heart transplant (Z48.21), kidney transplant (Z48.22), liver transplant (Z48.23), lung transplant (Z48.24) and multiple organ transplant (Z48.28).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z48.290 (transplant) and Z48.298 (transplant).

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