A genetic predisposition or genetic susceptibility to cancer means that a person has an increased risk of developing the disease due to their genetic makeup. Having a genetic predisposition to a particular cancer or cancer in general does not mean you will get the disease.
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. 39 (Encounter for other screening for malignant neoplasm of breast).
Our physicians have used IDC-10 code F07. 81 as the primary diagnosis for patients presenting with post concussion syndrome.

V84.01 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of genetic susceptibility to malignant neoplasm of breast. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate. Includes Notes - This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
There are three types of genetic disorders: 1 Single-gene disorders, where a mutation affects one gene. Sickle cell anemia is an example. 2 Chromosomal disorders, where chromosomes (or parts of chromosomes) are missing or changed. Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genes. Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder. 3 Complex disorders, where there are mutations in two or more genes. Often your lifestyle and environment also play a role. Colon cancer is an example.
