Z85.2Personal history of malignant neoplasm of other respiratory and intrathoracic organs

Z85.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for personal history of malignant neoplasm of other respiratory and intrathoracic organs. 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 5 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Z85, choose Z85.2 (of other respiratory and intrathoracic organs) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: of digestive organs (Z85.0), of trachea, bronchus and lung (Z85.1), of breast (Z85.3), of genital organs (Z85.4), of urinary tract (Z85.5), leukemia (Z85.6), other malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissues (Z85.7), s of other organs and systems (Z85.8) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z85.20 (organ), Z85.21 (larynx), Z85.22 (sinuses), Z85.23 (thymus) and Z85.29 (organs).

Code first: any follow-up examination after treatment of malignant neoplasm (Z08).

Use an additional code to identify: alcohol use and dependence (F10.-), exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z77.22), history of tobacco dependence (Z87.891), occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z57.31), tobacco dependence (F17.-) and 1 more.

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