Keep in mind that the tabular has examples under each of these codes that can be referenced.
Some of the added codes above were expansions of existing codes.
We expect more and more SDOH codes to be added as time goes on. This data is being collected by CMS and other entities and could be used in future SDOH quality measures that are coming for 2024.
Hospitals should ensure this information is being well documented and coders should be educated in the importance of reporting these codes.
ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting Changes
The Social Determinants of Health OCG have been updated as below in bold:
17) Social Determinants of Health
Social determinants of health (SDOH) codes describing social problems, conditions, or risk factors that influence a patient’s health should be assigned when this information is documented in the patient’s medical record. Assign as many SDOH codes as are necessary to describe all of the social problems, conditions, or risk factors documented during the current episode of care. For example, a patient who lives alone may suffer an acute injury temporarily impacting their ability to perform routine activities of daily living.
When documented as such, this would support assignment of code Z60.2, Problems related to living alone. However, merely living alone, without documentation of a risk or unmet need for assistance at home, would not support assignment of code Z60.2. Documentation by a clinician (or patient-reported information that is signed off by a clinician) that the patient expressed concerns with access and availability of food would support assignment of code Z59.41, Food insecurity. Similarly, medical record documentation indicating the patient is homeless would support assignment of a code from subcategory Z59.0-, Homelessness.
