What history of pulmonary embolism ICD codes can I use?
History of pulmonary embolism ICD codes are used to explain and classify various types of pulmonary embolism. However, they are not precise diagnoses.
Here are four of the history of pulmonary embolism-related ICD-10 codes under the code range Z00-Z99: Factors influencing health status and contact with health services, specifically Z77-Z99: Persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status, you can use:
Z86.711: Personal history of pulmonary embolism
This ICD-10 code, under Z86.71: Personal history of venous thrombosis and embolism, is the specific code you want to use for a patient confirmed to have a history of pulmonary embolism.
Z82.49: Family history of ischemic heart disease and other diseases of the circulatory system
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have family members who have had ischemic heart disease and/or other circulatory system diseases.
Z91.89: Other specified personal risk factors not elsewhere classified
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient who is confirmed to be at risk of developing certain illnesses or suffering certain conditions based on test findings and other factors. If the patient is at risk of getting a pulmonary embolism due to certain factors (let's say they have family who had pulmonary embolisms and other circulatory system-related problems), you can use this.
