Parent-biological child conflict
ICD-10 Z62.820 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of parent-biological child conflict.
Z62.820 refers to conflicts between a parent and their biological child, which can significantly impact both mental and physical health. This conflict may arise from various factors, including differing values, communication issues, or behavioral problems. Such conflicts can lead to increased stress levels, anxiety, and depression in both parties, potentially resulting in the need for mental health services. Social determinants of health, such as socioeconomic status, education, and community support, play a crucial role in these dynamics. Preventive care strategies may include family counseling and conflict resolution programs, while screening for mental health issues is essential in these scenarios. Aftercare may involve ongoing therapy or support groups to help families navigate their challenges and improve their relationships. Proper documentation of the context and impact of the conflict is vital for accurate coding and effective treatment planning.
