About coding contraceptive maintenance examination

The ICD-10-CM code for contraceptive maintenance examination is Z30.8 (Encounter for other contraceptive management). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on Z30.8.

Within Z30, choose Z30.8 (other contraceptive management) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: general counseling and advice on contraception (Z30.0), sterilization (Z30.2), surveillance of contraceptives (Z30.4) and unspecified (Z30.9).

Don't report Z30.8 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: sperm count following sterilization reversal (Z31.42) and sperm count for fertility testing (Z31.41).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for Z30.8)

  • sperm count for fertility testing (Z31.41)
