Z95.0 vs Z95.810
Z95.0 (Presence of cardiac pacemaker) compared with Z95.810 (Presence of automatic (implantable) cardiac defibrillator), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.
Can these codes be reported together?
No — do not report together. Z95.0 carries an Excludes1 note covering Z95.810: “presence of automatic (implantable) cardiac defibrillator with synchronous cardiac pacemaker (Z95.810)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
