Categories Z40-Z53 are intended for use to indicate a reason for care. They may be used for patients who have already been treated for a disease or injury, but who are receiving aftercare or prophylactic care, or care to consolidate the treatment, or to deal with a residual state. Type 2 Excludes.
Aftercare codes are found in categories Z42-Z49 and Z51. Aftercare is one of the 16 types of Z-codes covered in the 2012 ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines and Reporting. Aftercare visit codes cover situations occurring when the initial treatment of a disease has been performed and the patient requires continued care during the healing or recovery phase, or care for the long-term consequences of the disease.
Aftercare following explantation of a joint prosthesis is reported with a code from category Z47, denoting orthopedic aftercare. Aftercare following explantation of a joint prosthesis (Z47.3-) may be reported for a staged procedure or an encounter for evaluation of planned insertion of a new joint prosthesis following prior explantation of a joint prosthesis. In ICD-10-CM, aftercare for explantation of a joint prosthesis is specific to site.
Aftercare for injuries is reported with a V-code in ICD-9-CM. However, aftercare of injuries in ICD-10-CM is captured with the seventh character “D,” specifically denoting routine care following most injuries. For fractures, additional seventh characters for subsequent encounters apply, depending on whether the fracture is open or closed and whether the healing is routine or delayed, with nonunion or malunion.
The codes for factors influencing health and contact with health services represent reasons for encounters. In ICD-10-CM, these codes are located in Chapter 21 and have the initial alpha character of “Z,” so codes in this chapter eventually may be referred to as “Z-codes” (just as the same supplementary codes in ICD-9-CM were referred to as “V-codes”). While code descriptions in Chapter 21, such as aftercare, may appear to denote descriptions of services or procedures, they are not procedure codes. These codes represent the reason for the encounter, service or visit, and the procedure must be reported with the appropriate procedure code.
Reason for encounter: Aftercare for traumatic fracture is reported with code S82.224D, Nondisplaced transverse fracture of shaft of right tibia, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing.
When the reason for an encounter is aftercare following a procedure or injury, the 2012 ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines and Reporting should be consulted to ensure that the correct code is assigned. Codes for reporting most types of aftercare are found in Chapter 21. However, aftercare related to injuries is reported with codes from Chapter 19, using seventh-character extensions to identify the service as aftercare.
Aftercare codes should be used in conjunction with other aftercare codes, diagnosis codes and/or other categories of Z-codes to provide better detail on the specifics of the aftercare encounter/visit, unless otherwise directed by the classification.
