However, I can provide information about the new and updated Z codes that were introduced in the 2018 update of ICD-10-CM:
- Z55.1: Problems related to employment and unemployment: This code was added to the Z55 category to capture problems related to employment and unemployment, such as job dissatisfaction or job loss.
- Z56.6: Other physical and mental strain related to work: This code was added to the Z56 category to capture physical and mental strain related to work that is not classified elsewhere.
- Z91.84: Patient’s noncompliance with other medical treatment and regimen: This code was added to capture instances where a patient is not adhering to medical treatment or regimen prescribed by a healthcare provider.
- Z92.89: Other personal history of medical treatment: This code was added to the Z92 category to capture personal history of medical treatment that is not classified elsewhere.
- Z93.89: Other specified artificial openings: This code was added to capture the presence of other specified artificial openings, such as an artificial anus or tracheostomy.
It is important to note that codes in the Z category are used to capture information about factors that influence a patient’s health status, but are not considered a primary diagnosis. These codes are often used as secondary codes to provide additional information about the patient’s medical history or to indicate a reason for a procedure or service.
