Submit one of these 7 more specific codes instead:

  • Z76.0 Encounter for issue of repeat prescription
  • Z76.1 Encounter for health supervision and care of foundling
  • Z76.2 Encounter for health supervision and care of other healthy infant and child
  • Z76.3 Healthy person accompanying sick person
  • Z76.4 Other boarder to healthcare facility
  • Z76.5 Malingerer [conscious simulation]
  • Z76.8 Persons encountering health services in other specified circumstances (also a header)

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
