Transplanted organ removal status

This code indicates that a patient has a history of a transplanted organ being surgically removed. It signifies the status of having undergone such a procedure, rather than the acute event of the removal itself. This status is relevant for ongoing patient management and understanding their medical history.

Use this code when documenting a patient's medical history who previously had a transplanted organ, such as a kidney, heart, or liver, that was subsequently removed. This applies to situations where the patient is being seen for follow-up care, management of underlying conditions, or evaluation for a potential re-transplant, and the removal is a significant part of their past medical history.

• Do not use this code for the encounter where the organ removal actually occurred; that scenario requires a complication code from the T86.- series.
• This code is typically used as a secondary diagnosis to provide context for the patient's current medical status.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the history of removal, not an active removal procedure.
