  • Z98.0 Intestinal bypass and anastomosis status
  • Z98.1 Arthrodesis status
  • Z98.2 Presence of cerebrospinal fluid drainage device
  • Z98.3 Post therapeutic collapse of lung status
  • Z98.4 Cataract extraction status (also a header)

  • Z98.8 Other specified postprocedural states (also a header)

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.
