About Z87.2

Z87.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for personal history of diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It belongs to category Z87 (personal history of other diseases and conditions), 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 billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within Z87 (personal history of other diseases and conditions), Z87.2 is specifically for personal history of diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Related codes cover diseases of the respiratory system (Z87.0), diseases of the digestive system (Z87.1), diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (Z87.3), diseases of genitourinary system (Z87.4), complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (Z87.5), certain (corrected) conditions arising in the perinatal period (Z87.6), (corrected) congenital malformations (Z87.7) and other specified conditions (Z87.8).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of Z87.2, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: personal history of diabetic foot ulcer (Z86.31).

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

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It is not acceptable as the principal diagnosis for an inpatient stay; it may be reported as a secondary diagnosis.

It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as V13.3 (personal history of diseases of skin and subcutaneous tissue).
