About Z57

Z57 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for occupational exposure to risk factors. It belongs to block Z55-Z65 (persons with potential health hazards related to socioeconomic and psychosocial circumstances) 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 10 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z57.0 (noise), Z57.1 (radiation), Z57.2 (dust), Z57.3 (contaminants), Z57.4 (agriculture), Z57.5 (industries), Z57.6 (temperature), Z57.7 (vibration) and 2 more.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
