About Z62.82

Z62.82 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for parent-child conflict. It belongs to category Z62 (problems related to upbringing), 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Z62.8 (other specified problems related to upbringing), Z62.82 is specifically for parent-child conflict. Related codes cover personal history of abuse in childhood (Z62.81), non-parental relative or guardian-child conflict (Z62.83) and other specified problems related to upbringing (Z62.89).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z62.820 (conflict), Z62.821 (conflict), Z62.822 (conflict) and Z62.823 (conflict).

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