I am looking for an ICD-10 code for Lynch Syndrome. Anyone have any ideas?
 
Lynch Syndrome

Usually symptoms would be reported in the absence of alphabetic index guidance but there may not be symptoms in this case. I think that if there is a confirmed abnormal gene, you can report codes from category Z15 (probably Z15.09 since Lynch indicates a susceptibility to colon cancer and many other cancers) followed by codes for family history of cancer as known. If the patient has been diagnosed with a cancer that is still present, that diagnosis would be reported followed by the Z15 and family history codes indicating the patient's increased susceptibility to other cancers.

I hope that helps.
