Z52 — Donors of organs and tissues
Is Z52 billable?
No — Z52 is a non-billable header code. Z52 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 26 billable codes beneath Z52.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with Z52 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- cadaveric donor - omit code
- examination of potential donor (Z00.5)
Includes
Conditions classified to Z52.
- autologous and other living donors
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Z40-Z53
The conditions below are not part of Z52, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, Z52 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- follow-up examination for medical surveillance after treatment (Z08-Z09)
