Dependence on enabling machines and devices, not elsewhere classified

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 5 more specific codes instead:

Z99.0 Dependence on aspirator
Z99.1 Dependence on respirator (also a header)
Z99.2 Dependence on renal dialysis
Z99.3 Dependence on wheelchair
Z99.8 Dependence on other enabling machines and devices (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.

FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Dependence on enabling machines and devices, not elsewhere classified
