Donors of other specified organ or tissue

This code identifies individuals who have donated a specific organ or tissue that is not explicitly categorized elsewhere. It signifies that the patient is a living donor, or a deceased donor whose donation is being processed, for a transplant procedure involving a non-routine or less common organ or tissue type.

Use this code for living donors of organs such as a portion of the liver, lung, or pancreas, or for donors of specialized tissues like bone marrow, stem cells, or amniotic membrane. It is appropriate when the donated material is not a kidney, heart, or other commonly coded organ donation.

• Ensure the medical record clearly specifies the organ or tissue donated to justify using this "other specified" code.
• Do not use this code for donors of blood or blood products; separate codes exist for those scenarios.
• This code is for the donor's medical record, not the recipient's.
