ICD-10 Code for Donor
Also indexed as (organ or tissue)
The ICD-10-CM code for donor is Z52.9 — Donor of unspecified organ or tissue. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for donor with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
Z52.9 is billable but unspecified. If the documentation names a type, site or cause, one of the more specific codes below is likely expected.
Which donor code should you use?
The Alphabetic Index lists 27 codes under Donor. Which one applies depends on the qualifier documented in the record — the type, site, cause, or associated condition. Find the qualifier below, then verify the code in the Tabular List before using it.
