Upbringing away from parents
Additional Information
Diagnostic Criteria
The ICD-10 code Z62.2, which refers to "Upbringing away from parents," is part of a broader classification concerning problems related to upbringing. Here are the key criteria and details associated with this diagnosis:
-
Definition: Z62.2 specifically addresses situations where a child is raised away from their biological parents, which can include various circumstances such as foster care, institutional upbringing, or custody by non-parental relatives [1][4].
-
Subcategories: The code has several subcategories that provide more specific contexts:
- Z62.21: Child in welfare custody.
- Z62.22: Institutional upbringing.
-
Z62.23: Child in custody of a non-parental relative [4][8].
-
Exclusions: There are specific exclusions noted for this code. For instance, it cannot be used simultaneously with certain other codes that describe different conditions or contexts of upbringing [10].
-
Clinical Context: This code is classified under "Persons with potential health hazards," indicating that upbringing away from parents can have implications for the child's health and development [2][3].
-
Non-billable Code: Z62.2 is considered a non-billable code, meaning that to accurately code a diagnosis, one must use one of its child codes that provide a more detailed description of the circumstances [14].
These criteria help healthcare professionals assess and document the specific circumstances surrounding a child's upbringing, which can be crucial for understanding their health and social needs.
