What This Code Means
Z31.84 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for encounter for fertility preservation procedure. A visit to preserve fertility options, such as freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos for future use. Z31.84 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for factors influencing health status and contact with health services (z00-z99), within the section covering persons encountering health services in circumstances related to reproduction (z30-z39).
Z31.84 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.
Use this code when the primary purpose of the encounter is fertility preservation, not treatment of infertility.
