About Z60

Z60 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for problems related to social environment. It belongs to 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 a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 7 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z60.0 (transitions), Z60.2 (alone), Z60.3 (difficulty), Z60.4 (rejection), Z60.5 (persecution), Z60.8 (environment) and Z60.9 (unspecified).

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