So z85.00 or Z86.010 could be used to describe the reason for surgery, either alone or in combination with other codes. Probably not on their own though. It's hard to make a fully formed example from scratch. Let me try again. Another reason to use history codes are for colonoscopies.

If the patient (z86.010) or the patient's family (Z83.71) has a history of colon polyps or malignant neoplasms, then that can justify doing a colonoscopy. In this case, in the absence of any new findings, the history code would be the primary diagnosis on the claim.

The billing and coding information in this article is dependent on the coverage indications, limitations and/or medical necessity described in the associated LCD L34698 Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery. This article will support reconstructive surgery performed on abnormal structures of the body, caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors, involutional defects, or disease.
Cosmetic procedures and/or surgery are statutorily excluded by Medicare. Please refer to:
Contractors may specify Bill Types to help providers identify those Bill Types typically used to report this service. Absence of a Bill Type does not guarantee that the article does not apply to that Bill Type.
Contractors may specify Revenue Codes to help providers identify those Revenue Codes typically used to report this service. In most instances Revenue Codes are purely advisory. Unless specified in the article, services reported under other Revenue Codes are equally subject to this coverage determination.
So the above are reasons to use history codes as a primary diagnosis. There are a whole host of reasons to use them as secondary diagnoses. For anesthesia (which I code currently) the ASA physical status modifier indicating the relative health of the patient needs to be supported by additional diagnoses.
A colonoscopy on a healthy patient might be P1 and need no support. A colectomy on a patient with systemic disease might be P3 or P4 and need additional diagnosis codes (like history codes) to detail the extent of the systemic disease.
The secondary site may be the principal or first-listed diagnosis with the Z85 code used as a secondary code.". So, it depends on how you define no further treatment. In our office, we use that to mean only NO type of any further treatment, and use the active cancer codes until then.
The patient may currently have colon polyps or malignant growths in their colon, or they may not. If they've been previously removed, a history code is appropriate. So z85.00 or Z86.010 could be used to describe the reason for surgery, either alone or in combination with other codes. Probably not on their own though.

If you (as a provider) are claiming that your surgery was more complex or detailed than normal, you'll generally have to justify that by detailing the diseases or conditions that you had to account for. A common few I see are Z95.1, Z95.0 and Z98.84. If these apply to your patient and you are seeing them for anything other than a yearly checkup, odds are the doc had to account for the existing conditions before recommending new medication or treatment options. It would be appropriate to add any history codes that could affect treatment options.#N#Hope this helps.

Z85.3 is not a primary dx code and can't be billed in primary position on 1500. At a loss.... Click to expand... Z85.3 can be billed as a primary diagnosis if that is the reason for the visit, but follow up after completed treatment for cancer should coded as Z08 as the primary diagnosis.

Once the cancer/stone has been excised or destroyed and is no longer being actively treated it is coded to a history code. For example, if a patient is taking Tamoxifen for breast CA then they are still to be coded with the breast CA diagnosis code as they are still being actively treated. Once the treatment is completed and the patient is deemed to be in remission then the HX of breast CA would be coded.
