Having not been taught about Z-Codes but a professor in my clinical master's program expected us to know, I sought out a video. Yours is excellent! Thank you! I now feel confident I have a good understanding of how to choose the right ones, where to find them, and how they're used. Very much appreciated.
I appreciated the work you put into this. I'm a former counselor and currently working as a service coordinator. I sought out this information to broaden my skill set and I believe it will help exponentially. Thank you.
This video is so helpful - thank you! What is your theory as to why this material is not taught in graduate programs? I don't think you had time to come back to this question and I would love to know the reason!
Hi, Jules. I think it has a lot to do with insurance companies and government-sponsored insurance (i.e., Medicaid, Medicare, TriCare) not reimbursing for z-codes. However, in addition to provide us with a concise and holistic diagnostic formulation, EAP companies reimburse for z-codes, and they can be always be added as diagnoses that are secondary (tertiary, etc.) to a primary mental disorder diagnosis for insurance claims, so I'm passionate about training clinicians to include them.
Hello, Ilze. I think I mentioned a few different apps during the presentation. One of them is the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria app (www.appi.org/apps). Another was the ICD-10 app. There are several of those available in app stores, and I'd suggest picking one that has lots of good ratings.

This was AH-MAZE-ING. Thank you for taking the time to explain and show how to find and utilize Z codes.

I saw a bunch of Z codes blowing shit up in Ukraine. Thank God for the Javelin.
