Z95.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Z95.9 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z95.9 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z95.9 may differ. Z codes represent reasons for encounters.
This new list of codes identifies several factors that should guide the codes you use when you insert central venous catheters. Here are a few of the determining factors you need to consider to choose the right code: insertion (CPT 36555-36571); repair (CPT 36575 & 36576);
In ICD-10-PCS, a percutaneous approach is defined as entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to reach the site of the procedure. Totally Implantable Central Venous Access Device (Port-a-Cath)- Q2 2015

Vascular access devices, or PICCs and ports, allow repeated and long-term access to the bloodstream for frequent or regular administration of drugs, like intravenous (IV) antibiotics.
The CPT guidelines tell us that in order to qualify as a central venous access catheter or device, “the tip of the catheter/device must terminate in the subclavian, brachiocephalic (innominate), or iliac veins, the superior or inferior vena cava, or the right atrium.”.
The catheter can be inserted centrally (in the jugular, subclavian, femoral vein or inferior vena cava catheter site) or peripherally (via the basilic or cephalic vein). In previous years, there were only a handful of codes to choose from when inserting a central line.
Imaging services. If you need imaging guidance, whether it’s to gain entry to the venous site or to manipulate its final position, CPT refers to the radiology section. When you need fluoroscopic guidance, use CPT 75998 in addition to the primary procedure code.
Auditors may frown upon an episode of 30 minutes of critical care that includes time spent on a procedure like inserting a central line. Technically, you should not count any time spent on procedures in the time that you count toward critical care services codes. If you deduct the time you have spent on a procedure from critical care services ...
Any internal coding guidelines should clarify unusual circumstances, support consistency, and yield accurate reimbursement. Seek clarification and guidance to address the problem through a reliable body of resources, shared stories, revised policies and procedures, and additional training.
Ensuring accurate and complete coding under ICD-10-PCS is a complex proposition at best. Organizations experiencing new coding issues are becoming increasingly concerned about denials, audits, and compromised revenue. Additional coding guidelines are suggested to address issues as they arise and avoid an avalanche of problems in the long term.
