Z90.0 Acquired absence of part of head and neck (also a header)
Z90.1 Acquired absence of breast and nipple (also a header)
Z90.2 Acquired absence of lung [part of]

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Acquired absence of organs, not elsewhere classified
