Wiki Z98.61 vs. Z95.5 Cardiology Code Question

[BKDaniels]

I have to do education on the uses of
Z98.61 coronary angioplasty status. vs
Z95.5 presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft

Does anyone have any experience with these? Resources?

Thanks

Looking at the headings alone

Z98 Other postprocedural states

Z95 Presence of cardiac and vascular implants and grafts

I interpret Z98 as patient is being monitored post surgery and Z95 is more like history of where the fact they have the implant influences the treatment of other medical conditions

The Z98.61 is angioplasty without implant or graft, Z95.5 is with implant or graft.
