Z1151 - Medical visit for HPV screening test
International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
This code represents a healthcare encounter specifically for screening for Human Papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a common sexually transmitted infection that can cause cervical cancer and other health problems. This screening is typically done through cervical samples (like Pap tests) or specific HPV DNA tests to detect the presence of high-risk HPV types before symptoms develop. The screening helps identify HPV infections early when treatment and monitoring can be most effective.
Additional Information
This is a screening code used when the primary purpose of the visit is HPV testing. Actual screening methods and frequency recommendations may vary based on age, medical history, and current clinical guidelines.
