ICD-10 Code for Transplant
Also indexed as (ed) (status)
The ICD-10-CM code for transplant is Z94.9 — Transplanted organ and tissue status, unspecified. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for transplant with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
Z94.9 is billable but unspecified. If the documentation names a type, site or cause, one of the more specific codes below is likely expected.
