Oct 01, 2021 · Z15.01 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z15.01 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z15.01 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z15.01 may differ.
The ICD-10-CM code Z15.01 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like brca1 gene mutation positive, brca2 gene mutation positive, breast cancer genetic marker of susceptibility positive, breast cancer genetic marker of susceptibility positive, breast cancer genetic marker of susceptibility positive , li-fraumeni syndrome, etc.
Genetic susceptibility indicates that a person has a gene that increases the risk of that person developing the disease. Codes from category Z15 should not be used as principal or first-listed codes.
A positive test result means that you have a mutation in one of the breast cancer genes, BRCA1 or BRCA2, and therefore a much higher risk of developing breast cancer or ovarian cancer compared with someone who doesn't have the mutation. But a positive result doesn't mean you're certain to develop cancer.Aug 12, 2021
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are two genes that are important to fighting cancer. They are tumor suppressor genes. When they work normally, these genes help keep breast, ovarian, and other types of cells from growing and dividing too rapidly or in an uncontrolled way.
For example, Z12. 31 (Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast) is the correct code to use when you are ordering a routine mammogram for a patient. However, coders are coming across many routine mammogram orders that use Z12.Mar 15, 2020
Differences Between BRCA1 and BRCA2 Both mutations increase the risk of ovarian cancer, as well as pancreatic cancer. A BRCA1 mutation can also increase the risk of cervical, uterine, and colon cancer, while BRCA2 can increase the likelihood of stomach, gallbladder, and bile duct cancer, plus melanoma.Jun 10, 2013
Which Gene Mutation is Worse, BRCA1 or BRCA2? By age 70, women BRCA1 carriers have a slightly higher risk of developing breast cancer than BRCA2 carriers. Also, BRCA1 mutations are more often linked to triple negative breast cancer, which is more aggressive and harder to treat than other types of breast cancer.Jun 18, 2020
BRCA1 is located on chromosome 17. Mutations in the gene are transmitted in an autosomal dominant pattern in a family. Since it was clear that not all breast cancer families were linked to BRCA1, studies continued and in 1994, scientists discovered another gene (similar to BRCA1), and named it BRCA2.
BRCA1 is a pleiotropic DDR protein that functions in both checkpoint activation and DNA repair, whereas BRCA2 is a mediator of the core mechanism of homologous recombination.Dec 23, 2011
Abstract. Two cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 on chromosome 17q12-21 and BRCA2 on chromosome 13q12-13, are thought to be responsible for approximately 80% of families containing multiple cases of early-onset female breast cancer.

Z12. 11: Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of the colon.May 1, 2016
Z15.01 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of genetic susceptibility to malignant neoplasm of breast. The code Z15.01 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code Z15.01 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like brca1 gene mutation positive, brca2 gene mutation positive, breast cancer genetic marker of susceptibility positive, breast cancer genetic marker of susceptibility positive, breast cancer genetic marker of susceptibility positive , li-fraumeni syndrome, etc. The code is exempt from present on admission (POA) reporting for inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals.#N#The code Z15.01 describes a circumstance which influences the patient's health status but not a current illness or injury. The code is unacceptable as a principal diagnosis.
Breast cancer Breast cancer is a disease in which certain cells in the breast become abnormal and multiply uncontrollably to form a tumor. Although breast cancer is much more common in women, this form of cancer can also develop in men.
Z15.01 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.

Unless you deal with the tests for breast cancer (BRCA), estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2) — or have gone through a diagnosis of breast cancer or know someone who has — you may not be familiar with them and their use in diagnosing and treating breast cancer.
Breast cancer can be coded by accounting the stage of the cancer. Breast cancer staging is based on the TNM system developed by the American Joint Committee on Cancer from seven key pieces of information:
Breast cancer can be coded by accounting the stage of the cancer. Breast cancer staging is based on the TNM system developed by the American Joint Committee on Cancer from seven key pieces of information: 1 Size of the tumor (T) 2 How many lymph nodes has the cancer spread to (N) 3 Has the cancer metastasized to other sites (M) 4 Is ER positive (ER) 5 Is PR positive (PR) 6 Is Her2 positive (Her2) 7 Grade of cancer (G)
Triple Negative. Triple negative breast cancers (ER-/PR-/Her2-) occur in 10-20 percent of all breast cancers (and are more common in BRCA1 mutations). Women with triple negative breast cancer have tumor cells that do not contain receptors for ER, PR, or Her2. These tumors are treated with a combination of therapies, including surgery, chemotherapy, ...
BRCA1 and 2 are genes that have been identified in the production of tumor suppressor proteins. These genes are integral to repairing damaged deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Mutations of these genes increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancers. One study found that approximately 72 percent of women who inherit a BRCA1 mutation ...
One study found that approximately 72 percent of women who inherit a BRCA1 mutation and approximately 69 percent of women who inherit a BRCA2 mutation will develop breast cancer by the age of 80. The following CPT® codes can be used for BRCA1 and 2 mutation testing:
Cancers cells are given grades based on how much the cancer looks like normal cells: Grade 1 cells are slower growing, well differentiated, and look more like normal breast tissue. Grade 2 cells are growing at a speed between grades 1 and 3, moderately differentiated, and look between grades 1 and 3 cells.
A negative test could be due to lack of inheritance of a BRCA1 or BRCA2 abnormality (true negative), due to testing an inappropriate gene (false negative). In some cases, false-positive results can arise due to the presence of a clinically insignificant polymorphism in one of the BRCA genes.

An UpToDate review on “Overview of benign breast disease” (Sable, 2016) states that “Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia -- Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a benign stromal proliferation that simulates a vascular lesion. PASH may present as a mass or thickening on physical examination. The most common appearance on mammography and ultrasound is a solid, well-defined, non-calcified mass. The characteristic histologic appearance is a pattern of slit-like spaces in the stroma between glandular units. PASH can be confused with mammary angiosarcoma. If there are any suspicious features on imaging, the diagnosis of PASH on a core biopsy should not be accepted as a final diagnosis, and excisional biopsy should be performed. However, in the absence of suspicious imaging characteristics, a diagnosis of PASH at core biopsy is considered sufficient, and surgical excision is not always necessary. There is no increased risk of subsequent breast cancer associated with PASH”. The review does not mention prophylactic mastectomy as a management option.
Breast cancer is diagnosed at age 50 years or younger, with or without family history; or. 5. Women with a personal history of pancreatic adenocarcinoma at any age, or with familial pancreatic cancer, defined as having two or more first-degree relatives with pancreatic cancer.
For the purposes of this policy, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal carcinoma should be included. Serous borderline tumor of ovary is not included. Footnotes. For purposes of this policy on BRCA testing, the term “breast cancer” includes both invasive and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) breast cancers.
Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is not included. Footnotes. Close blood relatives include first-degree relatives (e.g., mother, sister, daughter) and second-degree relatives (e.g., aunt, grandmother, niece), all of whom are on the same side of the family.
BRCA testing of men with breast cancer is considered medically necessary to assess the man's risk of recurrent breast cancer and/or to assess the breast cancer risk of a female member where the affected male is a first- or second-degree blood relative of that member.
