Lung transplant status. Z94.2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM Z94.2 became effective on October 1, 2019.
Malignancy of a transplanted organ should be coded as a transplant complication followed by the code C80.2, Malignant neoplasm associated with transplanted organ. An additional code for the specific malignancy should also be reported.
A transplant complication is only coded if the function of the transplanted organ is affected Malignancy of a transplanted organ should be coded as a transplant complication followed by the code C80.2, Malignant neoplasm associated with transplanted organ. An additional code for the specific malignancy should also be reported.
Documentation does not typically state that a condition is a complication of the transplant, and it is up to the coder to know which conditions would be considered complications. Coders are no longer only assigning codes to terms that they read in a patient record.

ICD-9 uses mostly numeric codes with only occasional E and V alphanumeric codes. Plus, only three-, four- and five-digit codes are valid. ICD-10 uses entirely alphanumeric codes and has valid codes of up to seven digits.
This is the code set for diagnosis coding and is used for all healthcare settings in the United States. ICD-10PCS, on the other hand, is used in hospital inpatient settings for inpatient procedure coding. ICD-9-CM, which is what providers are using today, is similar to the format of the code sets for ICD-10-CM.
However, most ICD-9-CM codes are still matched with multiple terms in ICD-10-CM, and there is still room for double billing during the period when the two systems will be activated simultaneously.
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.
A transplant complication is only coded if the function of the transplanted organ is affected
Coding complications of transplanted organs has always been a coding dilemma. With the implementation of ICD-10-CM that didn’t change. However, coders have multiple directives to help in determining what a complication of the transplant is vs. non-transplant conditions and diseases. Documentation does not typically state that a condition is a complication of the transplant, and it is up to the coder to know which conditions would be considered complications. Coders are no longer only assigning codes to terms that they read in a patient record. They also have to know the function of the organs, and the disease processes. To me, the first thing I think of is, “was the function of the transplanted organ affected?” There’s no way to list out every scenario that a coder will see, but let’s look at the most common organ transplants with complications that coders see:
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.
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. Query may be needed on these if the documentation is unclear. If the patient has progressed to end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis again, this would be coded as a complication since the function of the transplanted kidney is affected (the need for dialysis).
Patient presents with sepsis due to pyelonephritis and is also s/p bilateral lung transplant just a few months earlier. This would NOT be considered a complication of the lung transplant since the infection is in the urinary system. This condition may complicate the treatment given for the lung transplant, but if there is no affect in the function of the transplanted lung it is not coded as a complication.

Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
