What This Code Means
Z86.73 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for personal history of transient ischemic attack (tia), and cerebral infarction without residual deficits. A patient has a history of transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke that did not leave permanent neurological damage or deficits. Z86.73 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).
Z86.73 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.
Personal history of transient ischemic attack and cerebral infarction without residual deficits, status code for resolved prior stroke or TIA. Used when no current sequelae exist.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for Z86.73 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Personal history of transient ischemic attack and cerebral infarction without residual deficits, status code for resolved prior stroke or TIA. Used when no current sequelae exist.
- •Do not use Z86.73 when residual deficits are documented, use I69.* for sequelae. Status codes mean the event is historical and fully resolved.
- •Z86.73 does not map to a V28 payment HCC. Chart-history code only, a common false-positive for 'stroke coding' in retrospective reviews.
