Z85.06Personal history of malignant neoplasm of small intestine

Z85.06 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for personal history of malignant neoplasm of small intestine. It belongs to category Z85 (personal history of malignant neoplasm), 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.
