About coding travel international counseling
The ICD-10-CM code for travel international counseling is Z71.84 (Encounter for health counseling related to travel).
Within Z71.8 (other specified counseling), Z71.84 is specifically for encounter for health counseling related to travel. Related codes cover Spiritual or religious counseling (Z71.81), exercise counseling (Z71.82), encounter for nonprocreative genetic counseling (Z71.83), encounter for immunization safety counseling (Z71.85), encounter for pediatric-to-adult transition counseling (Z71.87), encounter for counseling for socioeconomic factors (Z71.88) and other specified counseling (Z71.89).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of Z71.84, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: encounter for administrative examination (Z02.-) and encounter for other special examination without complaint, suspected or reported diagnosis (Z01.-).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
