About coding breast implant status
The ICD-10-CM code for breast implant status is Z98.82 (Breast implant status). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on Z98.82.
Within Z98.8 (other specified postprocedural states), Z98.82 is specifically for breast implant status. Related codes cover dental procedure status (Z98.81), Filtering (vitreous) bleb after glaucoma surgery status (Z98.83), bariatric surgery status (Z98.84), transplanted organ removal status (Z98.85), personal history of breast implant removal (Z98.86), personal history of in utero procedure (Z98.87) and other specified postprocedural states (Z98.89).
Don't report Z98.82 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: breast implant removal status (Z98.86).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
