Pancreas transplant status

This code indicates that a patient has undergone a pancreas transplant and currently has a functioning transplanted pancreas. It signifies the presence of a transplanted organ, regardless of the reason for the original organ failure.

Use this code for patients who have a history of a pancreas transplant and are being seen for follow-up care, medication management related to the transplant, or any condition where the transplant status is relevant to their current medical care. It is appropriate for both successful and complicated transplant cases as long as the organ is still present.

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the primary reason for the encounter.
• Do not use this code if the transplanted pancreas has been removed or is no longer functioning and the patient is awaiting re-transplantation.
• Consider additional codes for complications of the transplant, such as graft rejection (T86.83-), if applicable.
