Z66 is for DNR. Is there a code for a patient that does want it? I work with hospitalist and was wondering if there was an ICD10 for 'full code'

There isn’t a specific ICD-10 code for "full code" like there is for DNR , which is covered by Z66. However, a patient's desire for full resuscitation or full code status is typically documented in the medical record, but it is not usually assigned a specific ICD-10 code.

For hospitalist coding, the Z codes that are relevant include:

  • Z52.9 (Donor, unspecified) if the patient is an organ donor.
  • Z51.5 (Encounter for palliative care) if a patient is receiving care focused on comfort rather than curative treatment, although this doesn't directly imply "full code."
Codebooks can help in quickly navigating ICD-10 codes and understanding which ones apply to various clinical scenarios, including discussions about code status. This can help ensure accurate documentation and coding based on the patient's care preferences. I have been using this tool for long, you can access this here-https://codebooks.rapidclaims.ai/
