Z62 — Problems related to upbringing
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
Z62 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for problems related to upbringing. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist
The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.
Includes
Conditions this code covers.
- current and past negative life events in childhood
- current and past problems of a child related to upbringing
Other codes that can never be billed with Z62
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Z62. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Z62 alone.
Risk adjustment
Z62 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Code to one of these instead Z62
