Z02.2: Examination for admission to residential institutions
The ICD-10 code Z02.2 is designated for a patient's examination for admission into residential institutions. It is not a diagnosis of a particular medical condition, but rather a code used in circumstances where individuals require thorough medical evaluations to dictate their eligibility for placement within residential facilities, such as nursing homes or long-term care facilities. These examinations often comprise general physical assessments, psychological evaluations, as well as assessments of needs for care, treatment, or assistance in daily living. They are performed to ensure that individuals are placed in the most appropriate care settings, and that the institution has adequate resources to meet their health and daily living care requirements. It also helps in formulating personalized care plans to suit the individual's needs, if they are admitted.
