Intestine transplant status

This code indicates that a patient has a history of receiving an intestinal transplant. It signifies the presence of a transplanted intestine, regardless of the current function or any complications. This status code is used to track patients who have undergone this significant surgical procedure.

Use this code for any encounter where a patient's history of an intestinal transplant is relevant to their care, such as during follow-up appointments, medication management for immunosuppressants, or when evaluating new gastrointestinal symptoms. It should be assigned as a secondary diagnosis to provide a complete picture of the patient's medical history.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis for the current encounter.
• Do not use this code if the patient is currently experiencing a complication of the transplant (e.g., rejection, infection); instead, code the specific complication.
• This code is for the status of having a transplant, not for the transplant procedure itself.
