About Z97.2

Z97.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for presence of dental prosthetic device (complete) (partial). It belongs to category Z97 (presence of other devices), block Z77-Z99 (persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status) 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 Z97 (presence of other devices), Z97.2 is specifically for presence of dental prosthetic device (complete) (partial). Related codes cover artificial eye (Z97.0), artificial limb (complete) (partial) (Z97.1), spectacles and contact lenses (Z97.3), external hearing-aid (Z97.4), (intrauterine) contraceptive device (Z97.5) and other specified devices (Z97.8).

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 V45.84 (dental restoration status).
