Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Personal history of trophoblastic disease
Risk adjustment
Z87.59 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.
