How is Z94.7 listed in the Alphabetic Index?

These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to Z94.7. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.

  • Transplant › cornea (ed) (status)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Z94

The conditions below can never be reported together with Z94.7 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • complications of transplanted organ or tissue - see Alphabetical Index

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Z94

The conditions below are not part of Z94.7, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, Z94.7 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • presence of vascular grafts (Z95.-)

Code also — inherited from Z77-Z99

Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether Z94.7 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.

  • any follow-up examination (Z08-Z09)
