Z75: Problems related to medical facilities and other health care

The group of conditions coded under Z75 in ICD-10 concerns problems related to accessibility, usage, and quality of medical facilities and other health care services. These conditions do not indicate a medical disease, but rather, circumstances and difficulties that a patient may face surrounding healthcare. These issues might include situations where an individual has difficulty accessing healthcare services due to geographic location, financial limitation, lack of transportation, or inadequate healthcare infrastructure. They could also include instances where the required type of care service is not available such as specialized medical or rehabilitative services. Problems under this group may also involve dissatisfaction with the provided care or differing patient and physician opinions regarding care. These conditions do not have a transmission route or common symptoms like a typical illness but can pose significant hurdles in achieving optimal healthcare outcomes for individuals.
