ICD-10 code for liver donor

The ICD-10-CM code for liver donor is Z52.6 (Liver donor).

Within Z52 (donors of organs and tissues), Z52.6 is specifically for liver donor. Related codes cover blood donor (Z52.0), skin donor (Z52.1), bone donor (Z52.2), bone marrow donor (Z52.3), kidney donor (Z52.4), cornea donor (Z52.5), donor of other specified organs or tissues (Z52.8) and donor of unspecified organ or tissue (Z52.9).

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 441 (Disorders of Liver Except Malignancy, Cirrhosis or Alcoholic Hepatitis with MCC, relative weight 1.8219), DRG 442 (Disorders of Liver Except Malignancy, Cirrhosis or Alcoholic Hepatitis with CC, relative weight 0.9602) and DRG 443 (Disorders of Liver Except Malignancy, Cirrhosis or Alcoholic Hepatitis without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6885), in MDC 07 (Diseases and Disorders of the Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
