is there a code for "stool with-holding?" can't really code it as constipation--it's more behavioral in a child--any thoughts, ideas, opinions?
 
I'm thinking this may be a mental disorder code since the child is doing this to himself.
So looked under disturbance in the index then digestive then psychogenic and it lead me to code 306.4-physiciological malfunction arising from mental factors gastrointestinal .
I was also thinking 312.89-other consuct disorder.

I'm in favor of 306.4, it can be indexed under constipation, psychogenic, which seems to be in line with the context of the problem.
