ICD-10 code for Canceled procedure

The ICD-10-CM code for Canceled procedure is Z53.9 (Procedure and treatment not carried out, unspecified reason). The official index lists 7 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on Z53.9.

Within Z53, choose Z53.9 (and treatment not carried out, unspecified reason) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: and treatment not carried out because of contraindication (Z53.0), and treatment not carried out because of patient's decision for reasons of belief and group pressure (Z53.1), and treatment not carried out because of patient's decision for other and unspecified reasons (Z53.2), converted to open procedure (Z53.3) and and treatment not carried out for other reasons (Z53.8).

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 795 (Normal Newborn, relative weight 0.2022) and DRG 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period) and 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.
