Encounter for screening for other diseases and disorders (Z13)
The Z13 series of ICD-10 codes is used to document healthcare encounters focused on screening for a wide range of diseases and disorders. These codes cover screenings for blood diseases, diabetes, mental health issues, developmental delays, sensory disorders, cardiovascular conditions, genetic anomalies, digestive and musculoskeletal disorders, and more.
Each specific code within the Z13 category identifies particular types of screenings. For instance, Z13.0 applies to screening for blood and immune disorders, including tests for various antibodies like anti-nuclear factor or anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody. Screening for diabetes mellitus is coded as Z13.1. Mental health screenings, such as those for depression or posttraumatic stress disorder, fall under codes like Z13.31 which connects to terms like "Positive screening for depression on PHQ-9," a common tool. Developmental disorder screenings, including autism screening, use codes such as Z13.41. Codes like Z13.6 identify encounters for cardiovascular disorder screening, often involving risk factor assessment or aneurysm screening. The code Z13.79 is used for genetic screenings, including Down’s syndrome testing. For general or unspecified screenings, Z13.9 applies and can relate to notes like "New patient screening - no abnormality detected" or "Abnormal finding on screening procedure." Understanding these codes helps medical professionals accurately record preventive care focused on identifying health issues early through targeted screenings.

Instructional Notations
Inclusion Terms
These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
- Screening is the testing for disease or disease precursors in asymptomatic individuals so that early detection and treatment can be provided for those who test positive for the disease.
Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
