Questions About Z92.86Overview
Is Z92.86 (Personal history of other medical treatment) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report personal history of gene therapy on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
Can Z92.86 be a principal diagnosis?
No. The Medicare Code Editor rejects this code as a principal diagnosis because personal history of gene therapy describes a circumstance that influences health status rather than a current illness. Report it as a secondary diagnosis.
Is Z92.86 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 personal history of gene therapy on inpatient claims.
