About GZ60ZZZ
GZ60ZZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a counseling procedure on the educational using a none approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, counseling means the application of psychological methods to treat an individual with normal developmental issues and psychological problems in order to increase function, improve well-being, alleviate distress, maladjustment or resolve crises.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other counseling, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (94.49).
For a different body part, codes include GZ61ZZZ (vocational) and GZ63ZZZ (other counseling).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
