ICD-10 code for liver transplant

The ICD-10-CM code for liver transplant is Z94.4 (Liver transplant status).

Within Z94 (transplanted organ and tissue status), Z94.4 is specifically for liver transplant status. Related codes cover kidney transplant status (Z94.0), heart transplant status (Z94.1), lung transplant status (Z94.2), heart and lungs transplant status (Z94.3), skin transplant status (Z94.5), bone transplant status (Z94.6), corneal transplant status (Z94.7), other transplanted organ and tissue status (Z94.8) and 1 more.

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

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.
