Z87.6Personal history of certain (corrected) conditions arising in the perinatal period

Z87.6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for personal history of certain (corrected) conditions arising in the perinatal period. 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 a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

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

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z87.61 (newborn) and Z87.68 (period).

Don't report Z87.6 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: personal history of (corrected) congenital malformations (Z87.7-).

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