Z86.01Personal history of benign neoplasm

Z86.01 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for personal history of benign neoplasm. It belongs to category Z86 (personal history of certain other diseases), 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 Z86.0 (personal history of in-situ and benign neoplasms and neoplasms of uncertain behavior), Z86.01 is specifically for personal history of benign neoplasm. Related codes cover in-situ neoplasm (Z86.00) and neoplasm of uncertain behavior (Z86.03).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z86.010 (polyps), Z86.011 (of the brain), Z86.012 (tumor) and Z86.018 (neoplasm).

Code first: any follow-up examination after treatment (Z09).

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