Z96: Presence of other functional implants
Z96.8: Presence of other specified functional implants
Presence of other specified functional implants (Z96.8) refers to medical situations where an individual has had one or more specific functional implants inserted into their body. Such implants are designed to replace, support, or enhance the performance of specific bodily functions that may be impaired due to injury, disease, or aging. The exact type and function of the implant can greatly vary, depending on the individual's specific medical needs. A person may have diverse types of functional implants such as cardiac pacemakers, prosthetic joints, cochlear implants, vascular grafts among others. The presence of these implants can have significant implications for a patient's health management, as they may influence what types of medical treatments, procedures, and preventive care strategies are safe and appropriate.
