Upbringing away from parents
ICD-10 Z62.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of upbringing away from parents.
Z62.2 refers to individuals who have been raised away from their biological parents, which can significantly influence their health status and interaction with healthcare services. This upbringing may stem from various circumstances such as foster care, adoption, or institutionalization. Children raised in such environments may face unique social determinants of health, including increased risk for mental health issues, developmental delays, and challenges in accessing preventive care. Preventive measures, such as regular health screenings and mental health assessments, are crucial for these individuals to address potential health disparities. Healthcare providers must be aware of the social context surrounding these patients to provide comprehensive care and support. Screening for emotional and behavioral issues, as well as ensuring continuity of care, is essential in aftercare settings to promote better health outcomes.
