Z87Personal history of other diseases and conditions

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

Z87 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for personal history of other diseases and conditions. 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 Z87

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Z87. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Z87 alone.

  • Z90.7Acquired absence of genital organ(s)
  • F17Nicotine dependence
  • Z18Retained foreign body fragments
  • Z72.0Tobacco use
  • Z86.73Personal history of transient ischemic attack (TIA), and cerebral infarction without residual deficits
  • Z87.6Personal history of certain (corrected) conditions arising in the perinatal period

Risk adjustment

Z87 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 Z87

9 child codes. Green means billable.
