About Z17

Z17 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for estrogen, and other hormones and factors receptor status. It belongs to block Z17 (estrogen, and other hormones and factors receptor status) and chapter 21 (factors influencing health status and contact with health services). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 5 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z17.0 ([ER+]), Z17.1 ([ER-]), Z17.2 (status), Z17.3 (receptor) and Z17.4 (status).

Code first malignant neoplasm, such as: malignant neoplasm of breast (C50.-) and malignant neoplasm of ovary (C56.-).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2025 (title revised).
