Z83.71Family history of colonic polyps

Z83.71 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for family history of colonic polyps. It belongs to category Z83 (family history of other specific disorders), 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Z83.7 (family history of diseases of the digestive system), Z83.71 is specifically for family history of colonic polyps. Related codes cover familial adenomatous polyposis (Z83.72) and other diseases of the digestive system (Z83.79).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z83.710 (polyps), Z83.711 (polyps), Z83.718 (polyps) and Z83.719 (unspecified).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of Z83.71, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: family history of malignant neoplasm of digestive organs (Z80.0).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2024 (expanded into subcodes).

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as V18.51 (family history of colonic polyps).
