Z94.8 — Other transplanted organ and tissue status
Z94.8 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other transplanted organ and tissue status. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above Z94.8
These are not written on Z94.8, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing Z94.8 with anything listed here is a denial.

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above Z94.8
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of Z94.8, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Other codes that can never be billed with Z94.8
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Z94.8. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Z94.8 alone.

Risk adjustment
Z94.8 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.
