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
  • I82.7Chronic 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
  • I82.5Chronic embolism and thrombosis of deep veins of lower extremity

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.

The condition this code belongs to

Every code for the condition on one page, which one applies when, and the mistake coders make with it.

Z86 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
