Non-parental relative or guardian-child conflict
ICD-10 Z62.83 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of non-parental relative or guardian-child conflict.
Z62.83 is used to classify conflicts between a child and their non-parental relative or guardian, which can significantly impact the child's health and well-being. Such conflicts may arise from differing values, expectations, or communication styles, leading to stress, anxiety, or behavioral issues in the child. Understanding the social determinants of health is crucial, as factors like family dynamics, socioeconomic status, and community support systems can influence the nature and resolution of 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 in children involved in these conflicts is essential to identify any underlying problems early. Aftercare may involve ongoing support and resources for both the child and the guardian to foster a healthier relationship and mitigate any adverse health outcomes.
Documentation should include details of the conflict, its impact on the child's health, and any preventive measures taken.
Routine checkups where family dynamics are discussed, screenings for anxiety or behavioral issues, and aftercare follow-ups.
Consideration of social determinants such as economic stability, education, and community context.
Documentation should focus on population-level impacts of family conflicts and strategies for community interventions.
Epidemiological studies assessing the prevalence of family conflict and its health implications.
Tracking health outcomes related to family dynamics in community health assessments.
Used in conjunction with Z62.83 when counseling is provided to address stressors related to family conflict.
Documentation of the counseling session and its relevance to the child's health.
Primary care providers should consider the impact of family dynamics on smoking behaviors.
Z62.83 should be used when a child's health visit is primarily related to conflicts with non-parental relatives or guardians, impacting their emotional or physical health. Documentation should clearly outline the nature of the conflict and any preventive measures taken.
