Inclusion terms

Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to Z85.8.

Code first — inherited from Z85

The underlying condition below must be sequenced before Z85.8. Z85.8 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.

  • any follow-up examination after treatment of malignant neoplasm (Z08)

Use additional code — inherited from Z85

Report an additional code alongside Z85.8 to fully describe the condition. Z85.8 is sequenced first.

  • personal history of carcinoma-in-situ (Z86.00-)

Code also — inherited from Z77-Z99
