Genetic susceptibility to disease

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 5 more specific codes instead:

  • Z15.0 Genetic susceptibility to malignant neoplasm (also a header)
  • Z15.1 Genetic susceptibility to epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorders
  • Z15.2 Genetic susceptibility to obesity
  • Z15.3 Genetic susceptibility to kidney disease
  • Z15.8 Genetic susceptibility to other disease (also a header)

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
