Z codes (Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact with Health Services (Z00-Z99)), found in ICD-10-CM, chapter 21, are required to describe a patient’s condition or status in four primary circumstances:
ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes support medical necessity by identifying the reason for the patient encounter, which may include an acute injury or illness, a chronic health condition, or signs and symptoms (e.g., pain, cough, shortness of breath, etc.) that warrants further investigation. When a patient presents for health screening services without a specific complaint, however, it’s time to call on Z codes.
Screening is testing for disease or disease precursors in seemingly well individuals so early detection and treatment can be provided for those who test positive for the disease (e.g., a screening mammogram is intended to detect breast cancer early, so it can be treated before it becomes more serious or widespread).
The Z code indicates that a screening exam is planned. A screening code may be the first-listed code if the reason for the visit is specifically the screening exam. A screening Z code also may be used as an additional code if the screening is done during an office visit for other problems.
A screening code is not necessary if the screening is inherent to a routine examination, such as Pap smear done during a routine pelvic examination. If a condition is discovered during the screening, you may assign the code for the condition as an additional diagnosis.
