Questions About Z19.2Overview

Is Z19.2 (Hormone sensitivity malignancy status) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report hormone resistant malignancy status on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

Can Z19.2 be a principal diagnosis?

No. The Medicare Code Editor rejects this code as a principal diagnosis because hormone resistant malignancy status describes a circumstance that influences health status rather than a current illness. Report it as a secondary diagnosis.

Is Z19.2 exempt from POA reporting?

Yes. CMS lists this code among those exempt from present on admission reporting, so hospitals do not assign a POA indicator for hormone resistant malignancy status on inpatient claims.
