Z03. 89 No diagnosis This diagnosis description is CHANGED from “No Diagnosis” to “Encounter for observation for other suspected diseases and conditions ruled out.” established. October 1, 2019, with the 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code Z71. 2: Person consulting for explanation of examination or test findings.
Z71.1The worried well are within ICD-10 code Z71. 1—"Person with feared complaint in whom no diagnosis is made."
89: Persons encountering health services in other specified circumstances.
Codes from category Z15 should not be used as principal or first-listed codes.
11 or Z51. 12 is the only diagnosis on the line, then the procedure or service will be denied because this diagnosis should be assigned as a secondary diagnosis. When the Primary, First-Listed, Principal or Only diagnosis code is a Sequela diagnosis code, then the claim line will be denied.
The negative phrase 'the worried well' is being increasingly used, particularly by policymakers and now by some clinicians as well. Usually, it describes a group of patients who are perceived as using health services inappropriately or disproportionately, when other more deserving patients should be given attention.
The DSM-5 Steering Committee subsequently approved the inclusion of this category, and its corresponding ICD-10-CM code, Z03. 89 "No diagnosis or condition," is available for immediate use.
Official Long Descriptor. Person with feared health complaint in whom no diagnosis is made. Person encountering health services with feared condition which was not demonstrated. Person encountering health services in which problem was normal state. 'Worried well'

Z51. Based on a 5-for-life cycle, all deaths or admissions to hospices, hospice care, comfort care, hospice care and terminal care are considered deaths. Health care settings are all capable of using it.
According to ICD-10-CM code instructions, all services which are reported be considered medically necessary. Providing diagnosis codes allows patients to identify the services necessary from circumstances related to their particular ailments. We suggest code symptoms, instead of rule-out tests, when there is no definitive diagnosis to be given.
It proved that higher coding made a significant difference in identifying patients with high risk and allowing clinical outcomes to rapidly arise. Patients who upgraded onto more relevant clinical measures reported a 0 percent increase in outpatient care over their previously coded peers. On average, a visit lasts nine seconds.
ICD-10 improves clinicians’ skill at coding accurately, but doesn’t just benefit them in the area of coding. It significantly decreases communication difficulties between primary care doctors, hospitals, and emergency rooms. The recent revision of ICD-10 equips healthcare teams with the means to create, implement, and assess treatment plans based upon individual patients’ needs.
Currently, you can use the ICD-10 code system for accurate and timely procedure codes as well as fair reimbursement policies for medical expenses. With current codes, healthcare providers are able to identify patients at greatest risk for serious disease, tailor disease management programs according to their need, and establish effective disease prevention.
Data that have been collected via code must be analyzed in order to investigate health issues within populations, and then to monitor diseases incidences and rates. Furthermore, the data can be used as information for reimbursement, training, guidance, and quality controls.
The American Medical Association, the American Heart Association, and others use ICD-9-CM codes for a variety of purposes. Healthcare provider and health plan secondary users of ICD-9-CM code, along with hospitals, health care providers, or health plans may use hospitals’, health care providers’, or health plans’ alreadycoded data to conduct surveillance or to conduct research.
