Non-parental relative-child conflict
ICD-10 Z62.831 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of non-parental relative-child conflict.
Z62.831 refers to conflicts between a child and a non-parental relative, which can significantly influence the child's health status and access to health services. Such conflicts may arise from various factors, including differing values, expectations, and communication styles. These conflicts can lead to emotional distress, behavioral issues, and even physical health problems in children. Understanding the social determinants of health, such as family dynamics, socioeconomic status, and community support, is crucial for addressing these conflicts. Preventive care strategies may include family counseling, conflict resolution training, and educational programs aimed at improving communication skills. Screening for mental health issues, such as anxiety or depression, is also essential in these scenarios. Aftercare may involve ongoing support and follow-up to ensure the child's well-being and to mitigate any long-term effects of the conflict. Proper documentation of the context and impact of the conflict on the child's health is vital for accurate coding and effective care planning.
