Donor of unspecified organ or tissue

This code indicates that an individual has donated an organ or tissue, but the specific type of organ or tissue donated is not documented or available. It signifies the act of donation without further anatomical detail.

This code is appropriate when a patient is identified as a donor, but the medical record lacks specificity regarding the donated material. It can be used in situations where a general donor status needs to be recorded, and more precise codes for specific organs (e.g., kidney, liver) cannot be assigned due to insufficient information.

• Only use this code when the specific organ or tissue is truly unknown or unstated in the documentation.
• Always query the provider for more specific information if possible to assign a more precise code.
• Do not use this code if the patient is a recipient; this code is exclusively for donors.
