Z74.0Reduced mobility

Z74.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for reduced mobility. It belongs to category Z74 (problems related to care provider dependency), block Z69-Z76 (persons encountering health services in other 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Z74 (problems related to care provider dependency), Z74.0 is specifically for reduced mobility. Related codes cover Need for assistance with personal care (Z74.1), Need for assistance at home and no other household member able to render care (Z74.2), Need for continuous supervision (Z74.3), other problems related to care provider dependency (Z74.8) and problem related to care provider dependency, unspecified (Z74.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z74.01 (status) and Z74.09 (mobility).

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