Genetic susceptibility to malignant neoplasm

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 8 more specific codes instead:

Z15.01 Genetic susceptibility to malignant neoplasm of breast
Z15.02 Genetic susceptibility to malignant neoplasm of ovary
Z15.03 Genetic susceptibility to malignant neoplasm of prostate
Z15.04 Genetic susceptibility to malignant neoplasm of endometrium
Z15.05 Genetic susceptibility to malignant neoplasm of fallopian tube(s)
Z15.06 Genetic susceptibility to malignant neoplasm of digestive system (also a header)
Z15.07 Genetic susceptibility to malignant neoplasm of urinary tract
Z15.09 Genetic susceptibility to other malignant neoplasm

What has happened to this code

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.
