Encounter for examination for admission to residential institution
ICD-10 Z02.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of encounter for examination for admission to residential institution.
Z02.2 is used to document encounters for examinations required prior to admission to a residential institution, such as a nursing home, rehabilitation facility, or long-term care facility. This examination often assesses the individual's physical and mental health status, ensuring they meet the necessary criteria for admission. Factors influencing health status, such as social determinants of health (e.g., socioeconomic status, living conditions, and access to healthcare), play a crucial role in determining the need for residential care. Preventive care measures, including vaccinations and screenings, may also be addressed during this encounter. Proper documentation is essential to capture the patient's health status and any relevant social factors that may impact their care and admission process.
Documentation must include a comprehensive health assessment, including physical and mental health evaluations, and any relevant social factors.
Routine checkups for patients being evaluated for admission to long-term care facilities, including assessments for chronic conditions.
Consideration of social determinants such as living conditions, caregiver availability, and community resources.
Documentation should include population health data, assessments of community resources, and tracking of health outcomes related to residential admissions.
Epidemiological studies assessing the health status of populations entering residential care.
Focus on health disparities and access to care in different populations.
Used in conjunction with Z02.2 for pediatric patients being evaluated for residential care.
Complete history and physical examination, including developmental assessments.
Primary care considerations for pediatric evaluations.
Documentation must include a comprehensive health assessment, including physical and mental health evaluations, and any relevant social factors. It should clearly state the purpose of the encounter as related to residential admission.
