ICD-10 code Z13. 7 for Encounter for screening for genetic and chromosomal anomalies is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
V codes, described in the ICD-9-CM chapter "Supplementary Classification of Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact with Health Services," are designed for occasions when circumstances other than a disease or injury result in an encounter or are recorded by providers as problems or factors that influence care.
ICD-9-CM is the official system of assigning codes to diagnoses and procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. The ICD-9 was used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates until 1999, when use of ICD-10 for mortality coding started.
ICD-9 uses mostly numeric codes with only occasional E and V alphanumeric codes. Plus, only three-, four- and five-digit codes are valid. ICD-10 uses entirely alphanumeric codes and has valid codes of up to seven digits.
Currently, the U.S. is the only industrialized nation still utilizing ICD-9-CM codes for morbidity data, though we have already transitioned to ICD-10 for mortality.
V codes correspond with descriptive, generic, preventive, ancillary, or required medical services and should be billed accordingly.
ICD-9 follows an outdated 1970's medical coding system which fails to capture detailed health care data and is inconsistent with current medical practice. By transitioning to ICD-10, providers will have: Improved operational processes by classifying detail within codes to accurately process payments and reimbursements.
The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States.
Objective-On October 1, 2015, the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) replaced ICD-9-CM (Ninth Revision) as the diagnosis coding scheme for the U.S. health care system.
No updates have been made to ICD-9 since October 1, 2013, as the code set is no longer being maintained.
The move to ICD-10 will not be easy. The ICD-10 code sets include greater detail, changes in terminology, and expanded concepts for injuries, laterality, and other related factors. The complexity of ICD-10 provides many benefits because of the increased level of detail conveyed in the codes.
This article will describe what the ICD-9-CM/ICD-10-CM codes are, why they are so important, and how clinicians and researchers will convert from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM effective October 1, 2014.
CMS will continue to maintain the ICD-9 code website with the posted files. These are the codes providers (physicians, hospitals, etc.) and suppliers must use when submitting claims to Medicare for payment.
One of the most significant benefits of ICD-10 is its ability to provide accurate and complete information to providers. ICD-10 codes indicate laterality, stage of care, specific diagnosis, and specific anatomy, which creates a more accurate picture of the patient's condition.
Factor V Leiden is the most common genetic risk factor for venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. It is present in 5% of the Caucasian population and in 20% to 40% of individuals with a history of venous thromboembolism. Not all individuals who are heterozygous for factor V Leiden will experience a thrombotic event, ...
This knowledge aids in prevention of venous thrombosis. Factor V Leiden is the most common genetic risk factor for venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. It is present in 5% of the Caucasian population and in 20% to 40% of individuals with a history of venous thromboembolism. Not all individuals who are heterozygous for factor V Leiden will experience a thrombotic event, and the factor V R2 DNA analysis identifies some individuals at risk. Factor V Leiden heterozygotes are at a sevenfold increased risk for venous thrombosis compared to the general population. Coexistence of the R2 polymorphism with factor V Leiden increases that risk by an additional threefold, leading to an increased risk of approximately 16-fold.
This is not a diagnostic test. It assesses increased risk of venous thromboembolism due to the presence of the factor V R2 variant in individuals who are heterozygous for factor V Leiden. Not all individuals with factor V R2 and factor V Leiden will have a venous thrombosis event in their lifetimes. Test results should be used in conjunction with clinical observation and other lab results.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z13.79 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:

Aetna considers genetic testing of SCA1 (ATXN1 gene), SCA2 (ATXN2 gene), SCA3 (ATXN3 gene), SCA6 (CACNA1A gene), SCA7 (ATXN7) and DRPLA (ATN1 gene) medically necessary to aid in the diagnosis of SCA when the following criteria are met:
In a review on “Personalized medicine in diabetes mellitus”, Kleinberger and Pollin (2015) stated that “… there are some 40 genes implicated in the complex etiology of type 1 diabetes, with currently unknown practical clinical implications … MODY3 is the most common form of MODY, comprising 52 % of cases in the well-characterized United Kingdom, though prevalence varies by ethnicity and geographic region. It is caused by a mutation in HNF1A, which encodes the transcription factor hepatic nuclear factor 1-α (HNF1-α), which promotes transcription of multiple genes related to glucose metabolism, insulin secretion, and insulin production. HNF1-α has 55 % amino acid similarity with hepatic nuclear factor 4-α (HNF4-α), which is mutated in MODY1. MODY1 makes up about 10 % of MODY cases in the United Kingdom … The most well-established treatment changes that can result from a genetic diagnosis are high-dose sulfonylureas rather than insulin for KCNJ11/ABCC8-related diabetes (usually neonatal), low-dose sulfonylureas rather than insulin (especially at early stages) for MODY1 (HNF4A) and MODY3 (HNF1A), and no treatment for MODY2 (GCK)”.
STK11 (LKB1) gene testing may be considered for individuals with a suspected or known clinical diagnosis of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, or a known family history of a STK11 (LKB1) mutation. Testing may be considered for individuals whose medical and/or family history is consistent with any of the following:
Aetna considers genetic testing for thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (TAAD) medically necessary for asymptomatic persons with an affected first-degree blood relative (i.e,. parent , full-sibling, child) with a known deleterious or suspected deleterious mutation in a gene known to cause familial TAAD. (Testing strategy: Test for known familial mutation.) Genetic testing for thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (TAAD) is considered experimental and investigational for any other indication, including but not limited to persons clinically diagnosed with TAAD, with a positive family history of the disorder, and for whom a genetic syndrome has been excluded.
Familial nephrotic syndrome (NPHS1, NPHS2): Aetna considers genetic testing for an NPHS1 mutation medically necessary for children with congenital nephrotic syndrome (nephrotic syndrome appearing within the first month of life) who are of Finnish descent or who have a family history of congenital nephrotic syndrome.
Whole exome sequencing (WES) is considered medically necessary for the evaluation of unexplained congenital or neurodevelopmental disorder in children < 21 years of age when all of the following criteria are met:
Aetna considers DNA sequence analysis for HNPCC (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, EPCAM sequence analysis) medically necessary for members who meet any one of the following criteria:
