Z77.098 ICD-10-CM Code: Contact with and (suspected) exposure to other hazardous, chiefly nonmedicinal, chemicals

Z77.098 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for contact with and (suspected) exposure to other hazardous, chiefly nonmedicinal, chemicals. A person has had contact with or suspected exposure to other hazardous chemicals not specifically listed, such as pesticides, solvents, or industrial compounds. Z77.098 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for factors influencing health status and contact with health services (z00-z99), within the section covering persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status (z77-z99).

Z77.098 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.

Clearly document the specific chemical or chemical class in the medical record.
