Even though ICD-10-CM does not provide a specific code for immunosuppressants, Z79.899 is used to identify the immunosuppressant therapy. When immune suppression is not part of the intended effect of the drugs (i.e.; antineoplastic), it is appropriate to code that as an adverse effect.
In order for a beneficiary’s immunosuppressive drugs to be eligible for reimbursement, the reasonable and necessary (R&N) requirements set out in the related Local Coverage Determination must be met.

Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant (PBSCT)
Listen to pronunciation. (A-loh-jeh-NAY-ik bone MAYR-oh TRANZ-plant) A procedure in which a patient receives healthy stem cells (blood-forming cells) to replace their own stem cells that have been destroyed by treatment with radiation or high doses of chemotherapy.
In an autologous transplant, your own blood-forming stem cells are collected. You are then treated with high doses of chemotherapy. The high-dose treatment kills the cancer cells, but it also gets rid of the blood-producing cells that are left in your bone marrow.

When your immune system fails to respond adequately to infection, it's called an immunodeficiency, and you may be immunocompromised. People may also suffer from the opposite condition, an overactive immune system that attacks healthy cells as though they were foreign bodies, and that is called an autoimmune response.
Treating a patient who is immunocompromised poses more risks and challenges; therefore, it is important to identify a patient with this status. Code D84. 821, Immunodeficiency due to drugs, was created for immunodeficiency due to medications that interfere with the immune system.
