Institutional upbringing
ICD-10 Z62.22 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of institutional upbringing.
Z62.22 refers to individuals who have been raised in institutional settings, such as orphanages, foster care, or residential treatment facilities. This upbringing can significantly influence health status and access to health services. Children raised in institutions may experience a range of social determinants of health, including limited access to healthcare, educational opportunities, and social support systems. Preventive care for these individuals often requires tailored approaches that consider their unique backgrounds and experiences. Screening for mental health issues, developmental delays, and social skills is crucial, as these children may face higher risks for various health problems. Aftercare services should focus on reintegration into society, addressing any lingering effects of institutionalization, and ensuring continuity of care. Proper documentation of the institutional upbringing is essential for understanding the patient's health context and for planning appropriate interventions.
