Coding Guidance
Z15.06 is a non-billable heading. Report one of the 2 more specific codes below.
Includes, Excludes and Coding Notes
Add a secondary code to identify the associated condition or cause when it is documented.
- code, if applicable, for any personal history of malignant neoplasm (Z85.-)
Sequence the underlying condition before this code.
- , if applicable, any current malignant neoplasm (C00-C75, C81-C96)
Conditions this code covers.
- confirmed abnormal gene
Mutually exclusive: these conditions are never reported together with this code.
- chromosomal anomalies (Q90-Q99)
Add a secondary code to identify the associated condition or cause when it is documented.
- code, if applicable, for any associated family history of the disease (Z80-Z84)
Instructional notes from the ICD-10-CM tabular list.
- Z codes represent reasons for encounters. A corresponding procedure code must accompany a Z code if a procedure is performed. Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00-Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
- (a) When a person who may or may not be sick encounters the health services for some specific purpose, such as to receive limited care or service for a current condition, to donate an organ or tissue, to receive prophylactic vaccination (immunization), or to discuss a problem which is in itself not a disease or injury.
- (b) When some circumstance or problem is present which influences the person's health status but is not in itself a current illness or injury.
