Z31Encounter for procreative management

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

Z31 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for encounter for procreative management. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

  • complications associated with artificial fertilization (N98.-)
  • female infertility (N97.-)
  • male infertility (N46.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with Z31

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Z31. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Z31 alone.

  • Z33.3Pregnant state, gestational carrier
  • Z71.83Encounter for nonprocreative genetic counseling
  • Z13.7Encounter for screening for genetic and chromosomal anomalies
  • Z30.8Encounter for other contraceptive management
  • Z48.816Encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on the genitourinary system

Risk adjustment

Z31 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead Z31

7 child codes. Green means billable.
