Personal history of other specified conditions

This code signifies a patient's past medical history of a condition that is not currently active, but which has a lasting impact on their health status or requires ongoing monitoring. It is used for conditions that are not specifically classified elsewhere in the Z86 or Z87 categories.

Apply this code when documenting a resolved or inactive condition that doesn't have a more specific "personal history of" code. Examples include a history of a rare genetic disorder, a resolved adverse effect of a medication, or a past infectious disease with long-term sequelae not otherwise classified.

• Always sequence this code after the primary reason for the encounter, if applicable.
• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the "other specified condition" to support the use of this code.
• Avoid using this code if a more specific personal history code (e.g., Z87.891 for personal history of traumatic brain injury) is available.
