Hi there!

I’ve never worked with insurance before and need to do so soon.

I see that there’s Z63.4 is uncomplicated bereavement. There’s also F43.8, but that’s for prolonged.

I hear the Z codes aren’t normally accepted. Should that still be used? Are there other common codes that are used?

I’m in California.

Thank you!

Hi @cvonb -welcome to MSF My Support Forums. Sorry you are grieving. We also have a Grief Forum if you care to post there. https://mysupportforums.org/grief-and-loss/

As far as insurance codes go, I never get involved with those. I contact my insurer and they take care of it. If you need codes to submit for reimbursement, I would think that the insurer should be able to provide that.

Hope you get the support you are looking for.

Hi! Your doctor should also be able to provide you with the correct code. HUG Kit

I've heard of Adjustment Disorder being used for grief (and that's not a Z code).
Thanks for this!
