Z97 — Presence of other devices

Not billable

Is Z97 billable?

No — Z97 is a non-billable header code. Z97 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 13 billable codes beneath Z97.

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with Z97 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 internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T82-T85)

Excludes2 — not included here

The conditions below are not part of Z97, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, Z97 and the excluded code may both be reported.

fitting and adjustment of prosthetic and other devices (Z44-Z46)
presence of cerebrospinal fluid drainage device (Z98.2)

Code also — inherited from Z77-Z99

Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether Z97 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.

any follow-up examination (Z08-Z09)
