Z59.2Discord with neighbors, lodgers and landlord

Z59.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for discord with neighbors, lodgers and landlord. It belongs to category Z59 (problems related to housing and economic circumstances), block Z55-Z65 (persons with potential health hazards related to socioeconomic and psychosocial circumstances) and chapter 21 (factors influencing health status and contact with health services). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within Z59 (problems related to housing and economic circumstances), Z59.2 is specifically for discord with neighbors, lodgers and landlord. Related codes cover homelessness (Z59.0), inadequate housing (Z59.1), problems related to living in residential institution (Z59.3), lack of adequate food (Z59.4), extreme poverty (Z59.5), low income (Z59.6), insufficient social insurance and welfare support (Z59.7), other problems related to housing and economic circumstances (Z59.8) and 1 more.

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 951 (Other Factors Influencing Health Status, relative weight 0.5577), in MDC 23 (Factors Influencing Health Status and Other Contacts with Health Services), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It is not acceptable as the principal diagnosis for an inpatient stay; it may be reported as a secondary diagnosis.

It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as V60.89 (other specified housing or economic circumstances).
