Z11.1 ICD-10-CM Code: Encounter for screening for respiratory tuberculosis

Z11.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for encounter for screening for respiratory tuberculosis. A patient is undergoing screening to check for tuberculosis infection in the lungs and respiratory system. Z11.1 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for factors influencing health status and contact with health services (z00-z99), within the section covering persons encountering health services for examinations (z00-z13).

Z11.1 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Use this code for asymptomatic screening only; if TB symptoms are present, use the appropriate TB diagnosis code.
