Z95.810
Presence of automatic (implantable) cardiac defibrillator
Z95.810 (also written Z95810) is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for presence of automatic (implantable) cardiac defibrillator. It is part of the FY2027 code set, effective October 1, 2026. It is one of the 13 codes in category Z95 (Presence of cardiac and vascular implants and grafts). The Alphabetic Index lists it under 7 entries. Its coding notes include a Code also instruction and 1 Excludes2 entry.
Guidelines tip
From the FY2027 Official Guidelines. ICD10Ref adds no rules of its own.
A status code is not the same as a history code. It is not added when the diagnosis code already includes the status.
Code also
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition. This note gives no sequencing order.
Also from chapter/block level (1 note)
- any follow-up examination (Z08-Z09)
Excludes2
Not included here. Both codes may be reported if the patient has both conditions.
Inclusion terms
Conditions classified to this code.
- Presence of automatic (implantable) cardiac defibrillator with synchronous cardiac pacemaker
- Presence of cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D)
- Presence of cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)
Notes
Also from chapter/block level (3 notes)
- Z codes represent reasons for encounters. A corresponding procedure code must accompany a Z code if a procedure is performed. Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00-Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
- (a) When a person who may or may not be sick encounters the health services for some specific purpose, such as to receive limited care or service for a current condition, to donate an organ or tissue, to receive prophylactic vaccination (immunization), or to discuss a problem which is in itself not a disease or injury.
- (b) When some circumstance or problem is present which influences the person's health status but is not in itself a current illness or injury.
