ICD-10 Adds Z Codes

Starting April 1, 2022

You will have new ICD-10-CM Z codes to report if you find the patient you are treating is partially vaccinated or unvaccinated for COVID-19.

The changes include:
  • New subcategory Z28.31 (Underimmunization for COVID-19 status), and under it, two new patient status codes:
    • Z28.310 (Unvaccinated for COVID-19).
    • Z28.311 (Partially vaccinated for COVID-19).
  • Z29.39 (Other underimmunization status).
