Commonly asked questions

Yes, this ICD-10 code is billable.

It’s best to use this if your patient is undergoing a circumstance affecting their health, but it isn’t an injury or illness. Do note that this code is unacceptable as a principal diagnosis.

That depends on the problem. This code is non-specific, so the healthcare provider will have to do the legwork to find out what the problem is. Given that this problem is not an illness or injury based on the context of this ICD-10 code, it’s difficult to specify a common treatment because circumstances are different per patient.
