About Z52.01

Z52.01 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for autologous blood donor. It belongs to category Z52 (donors of organs and tissues), 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Z52.0 (blood donor), Z52.01 is specifically for autologous blood donor. Related codes cover unspecified blood donor (Z52.00) and other blood donor (Z52.09).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z52.010 (blood), Z52.011 (cells) and Z52.018 (blood).

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