Code Classification

  • Factors influencing health status and contact with health services
    (Z00–Z99)
    • Genetic carrier and genetic susceptibility to disease
      (Z14-Z15)
      • Genetic carrier
        (Z14)

Z14 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of genetic carrier. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Genetic carrier

Non-specific codes like Z14 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for genetic carrier:

  • Z14.0 for Hemophilia A carrier - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use Z14.01 for Asymptomatic hemophilia A carrier - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use Z14.02 for Symptomatic hemophilia A carrier - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use Z14.1 for Cystic fibrosis carrier - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use Z14.8 for Genetic carrier of other disease - BILLABLE CODE

Patient Education


Genetic Disorders

Genes are the building blocks of heredity. They are passed from parent to child. They hold DNA, the instructions for making proteins. Proteins do most of the work in cells. They move molecules from one place to another, build structures, break down toxins, and do many other maintenance jobs.

Sometimes there is a mutation, a change in a gene or genes. The mutation changes the gene's instructions for making a protein, so the protein does not work properly or is missing entirely. This can cause a medical condition called a genetic disorder.

You can inherit a gene mutation from one or both parents. A mutation can also happen during your lifetime.

There are three types of genetic disorders:

  • Single-gene disorders, where a mutation affects one gene. Sickle cell anemia is an example.
  • Chromosomal disorders, where chromosomes (or parts of chromosomes) are missing or changed. Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genes. Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder.
  • Complex disorders, where there are mutations in two or more genes. Often your lifestyle and environment also play a role. Colon cancer is an example.

Genetic tests on blood and other tissue can identify genetic disorders.
