Personal history of diseases of the ms sys and conn tiss

This code indicates a patient's past medical history of a musculoskeletal or connective tissue disorder that is no longer active and does not have a more specific history code available. It signifies that the patient previously experienced such a condition, which may influence current care or risk factors, but is not currently being treated for the active disease.

Use this code when documenting a patient's history of conditions like resolved tendinitis, past sprains/strains, or other non-specific musculoskeletal issues that are no longer present. It is appropriate for follow-up visits where the historical condition is relevant to the patient's overall health status or current complaints.

• Ensure the historical condition is fully resolved and not an ongoing problem requiring an active disease code.
• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis, as it represents a historical condition, not a current encounter reason.
• Avoid using this code if a more specific personal history code (e.g., Z87.310 for personal history of (healed) traumatic fracture) is available.
