Donor of other specified organs or tissues

This code identifies individuals who have donated organs or tissues other than those specifically classified elsewhere (e.g., blood, kidney, bone marrow). It signifies the donor status for a variety of less common, yet medically significant, donations.

Apply this code when documenting the health status of a living donor who has provided a specified organ or tissue not covered by more specific Z codes. This includes donations such as a portion of the liver, lung, pancreas, or intestines, or other specified tissues like skin or heart valves.

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the reason for the encounter (e.g., follow-up after donation).
• Ensure the medical record clearly specifies the donated organ or tissue to justify the "other specified" designation.
• Do not use this code for deceased donors; specific codes exist for post-mortem organ procurement.
