The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z74.2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
Z74.2 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of need for assistance at home and no other household member able to render care. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk.

Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
Medicare considers the beneficiary homebound if BOTH the following requirements are met: 1 the assistance of another person or the use of an assistive device – crutches, wheelchair, walker 2 It is difficult to leave home and he/she is unable to do so
Documentation of homebound status "fits" entire medical record. All homebound documentation on the Plan of Care (POC) must be supported by documentation in the medical record. If the POC shows "endurance" is the reason the beneficiary is homebound, the documentation in the certifying physician's medical records and/or the acute/post-acute care facility's medical records should state why or how the limited endurance makes the beneficiary homebound.
The home health agencies documentation, such as the initial and/or comprehensive assessment of the patient can be incorporated into the certifying physician's medical record and used to support the patient's homebound status and need for skilled care.
The home health agency should document the homebound status frequently enough to reflect the beneficiary's current functional status, and at a minimum, at least once per episode. It is recommended that homebound status be documented in clear, specific, and measurable terms.
Documentation from the certifying physician's medical records and/or the acute/post-acute care facility's medical records is used to support the certification of home health eligibility. This documentation must support the patient's need for skilled services and homebound status.
The new definition, which went into effect November 19, 2013, will prevent confusion, promote a clearer enforcement of the statute, and provide more definitive guidance to home health agencies in order to foster compliance, CMS says.
Example: The beneficiary can only walk 10 feet before becoming extremely short of breath and diaphoretic at which time the beneficiary needs to rest. In addition, the beneficiary needs to hang onto furniture while walking. Simply documenting the use of a cane or walker in the POC does not reflect the homebound status.
