According to ICD-10-CM guidelines, clinicians may assign code Z28. 310, “Unvaccinated for COVID-19,” when the patient has not received a dose of any COVID-19 vaccine.
ICD-10-CM Code for Encounter for immunization Z23.
Talk to their doctor or read about the benefits of vaccines and the risks of not vaccinating their children. Get a signature from a local health department official. Write a letter that explains their reasons for refusing vaccines. Renew their exemption form every year.
ICD-10 code Z28. 20 for Immunization not carried out because of patient decision for unspecified reason is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Z23 may be used as a primary diagnosis for immunizations in the OP and physician setting.
Interestingly, unlike many codes, vaccinations do not get more complicated in ICD-10. Code Z23 is used to indicate any encounter for a vaccination. The procedure codes are used to identify the type of the immunization given and how it was administered. All Z codes must be accompanied by a corresponding procedure code.
People with a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to any component of either an mRNA vaccine or the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine should NOT receive that vaccine.
A new study from the CDC found that unvaccinated individuals are 10 times more likely to be hospitalized and 11 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than fully immunized people.
Unvaccinated Adults Younger, Less Educated They were younger, on average, than those who had been vaccinated. Roughly 75% of the unvaccinated were under age 50. Among the vaccinated, less than half were under age 50. They had lower levels of education, on average, than those who were vaccinated.
ICD-10-CM Code for Procedure and treatment not carried out because of other contraindication Z53. 09.
Z53. 21 is the diagnosis code I dread. When we do our medical charting, it's the code that we use for: “Procedure and treatment not carried out due to patient leaving prior to being seen by health care provider”. In medical slang we say “left without being seen.”
Public health A level of immunization which is suboptimal for a person or population Causes Financial factors, mother's age, race, education, socioeconomic status, birth order, prenatal care. See Racial inequaliy.
