Z82.7Family history of congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities

Z82.7 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for family history of congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities. It belongs to category Z82 (family history of certain disabilities and chronic diseases (leading to disablement)), block Z77-Z99 (persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Z82 (family history of certain disabilities and chronic diseases (leading to disablement)), Z82.7 is specifically for family history of congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities. Related codes cover epilepsy and other diseases of the nervous system (Z82.0), blindness and visual loss (Z82.1), deafness and hearing loss (Z82.2), stroke (Z82.3), ischemic heart disease and other diseases of the circulatory system (Z82.4), asthma and other chronic lower respiratory diseases (Z82.5), arthritis and other diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (Z82.6) and other disabilities and chronic diseases leading to disablement, not elsewhere classified (Z82.8).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z82.71 (kidney) and Z82.79 (abnormalities).

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