Other upbringing away from parents
ICD-10 Z62.29 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other upbringing away from parents.
Z62.29 is used to indicate situations where an individual has been raised away from their biological parents due to various circumstances such as foster care, adoption, or other forms of guardianship. This upbringing can significantly influence the individual’s health status, as it may be associated with social determinants of health such as socioeconomic status, access to healthcare, and emotional well-being. Preventive care and screening for individuals in these situations are crucial, as they may face unique health challenges, including mental health issues and developmental delays. Regular health check-ups, screenings for behavioral health, and aftercare services are essential to address these potential health risks. Documentation should reflect the context of the upbringing, including any relevant social factors that may impact health outcomes, ensuring that healthcare providers can offer tailored preventive and aftercare services.
Documentation should include details on the patient's upbringing, any relevant social factors, and preventive care measures taken.
