Z75: Problems related to medical facilities and other health care
Z75.4: Unavailability and inaccessibility of other helping agencies
Unavailability and inaccessibility of other helping agencies, coded as Z75.4 in ICD-10, refers to a situation where a patient is unable to access necessary health care services due to barriers such as geographical distance, service hours, or the lack of specific services. This may occur in rural settings, underserved areas, or in circumstances where special health care services are required but not available nearby. Difficulty in accessing these services can delay medical attention, potentially aggravating symptoms or allowing a person's health condition to progress further. This issue does not represent a medical condition in its own right, but signifies a social and infrastructural problem that impacts the overall health and welfare of individuals. It underscores the importance of accessible, comprehensive health care services for all individuals, regardless of their location or situation.
