When facing the likelihood of requiring at least two kidney transplants in their lives, pediatric patients with kidney failure who receive their first transplant from live kidney donor have more favorable outcomes vs those who receive organs from deceased donors, new research shows.
Transplanted organ and tissue status, unspecified Z94. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z94. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.

ICD-10-CM Code for Kidney transplant rejection T86. 11.
A transplant complication is only coded if the function of the transplanted organ is affected. Patients may still have some form of CKD even after transplant. Malignancy of a transplanted organ should be coded as a transplant complication followed by the code C80. 2, Malignant neoplasm associated with transplanted ...
ICD-10 Codes for Kidney Transplant Rejection and Failure 1 code for kidney transplant rejection or failure specified as either T86. 100 for kidney transplant rejection or as T86. 101 for kidney transplant failure.
ICD-10 code Z51 for Encounter for other aftercare and medical care is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Under ICD-10 coding rules, in the outpatient setting, if you note your patient's diagnosis as “probable” or use any other term that means you haven't established a diagnosis, you are not allowed to report the code for the suspected condition. However, you may report codes for symptoms, signs, or test results.
Second solution – Use Z03.89 ICD 10 In such case, if the rule/condition is confirmed in the final impression we can code it as Primary dx, but if the rule/out condition is not confirmed then we have to report suspected or rule/out diagnosis ICD 10 code Z03. 89 as primary dx.
N18. 31- Chronic Kidney Disease- stage 3a. N18. 32- Chronic Kidney Disease- stage 3b.
ICD-10 code N18 for Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .

The following crosswalk between ICD-10-PCS to ICD-9-PCS is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:

Malignancy of a transplanted organ should be coded as a transplant complication followed by the code C80.2, Malignant neoplasm associated with transplanted organ.
Remember, status codes are only used when there is no disease or complication of the organs. Patient presents with shortness of breath and is diagnosed with acute diastolic heart failure. The patient had a heart transplant about two years ago.
An injury that is not related to the transplant (such as fracture of femur) would not be coded as a transplant complication. If documentation is not clear, a query may be needed to clarify if the transplanted organ function is affected, especially when there are bilateral organs and only one is transplanted.
Even though the heart failure developed long after the transplant of the heart, this is coded as a complication of the transplant. This disease/illness affected the function of the transplanted heart. There are no timeframe restriction on complications of a transplanted organ.
Patient presents status post left kidney transplant. There is still documented chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to the patient only having one functioning kidney. This would NOT be coded as a complication of the transplanted kidney unless the physician states that there is a complication of the transplant.
Coronary atherosclerosis of a transplanted heart is not coded as a transplant complication. Pneumonia that is specified to be of the transplanted lung is a complication since this affects the function of the lung.
