Personal history of contraception

This code indicates that a patient has a past history of using contraceptive methods, but is no longer actively using them. It signifies a historical fact about their reproductive health management rather than a current practice. This history may be relevant for assessing future health risks or treatment options.

Use this code when a patient's medical record documents prior use of contraception, but they are not currently using any contraceptive method. This could be relevant during a new patient intake, a well-woman exam where past medical history is reviewed, or when evaluating conditions potentially influenced by past hormonal exposure.

• Do not use this code for patients currently using contraception; refer to codes in the Z30.- or Z79.3 categories.
• Distinguish between a personal history of contraception and the presence of a current contraceptive device (e.g., IUD), which has its own specific code.
• This code is typically a secondary diagnosis, providing additional historical context to the patient's primary reason for the encounter.
