Z86Personal history of certain other diseases

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

Z86 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for personal history of certain other diseases. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Code first

The underlying condition must be sequenced before this code.

  • any follow-up examination after treatment (Z09)

Other codes that can never be billed with Z86

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Z86. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Z86 alone.

  • I27.82Chronic pulmonary embolism
  • I69Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease
  • I82.5Chronic embolism and thrombosis of deep veins of lower extremity
  • I82.7Chronic embolism and thrombosis of veins of upper extremity
  • Z87.41Personal history of dysplasia of the female genital tract
  • Z87.820Personal history of traumatic brain injury

Risk adjustment

Z86 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead Z86

7 child codes. Green means billable.
