ICD-10 code: Z03.2 Observation for suspected mental and behavioural disorders (2024)

You were medically monitored in order to rule out a mental illness or behavioral disorder.

Typical symptoms or certain behaviors can indicate a mental illness or a behavioral disorder. It may be a case of a behavioral disorder if, for example, someone behaves very unusually and endangers other people in the process. If tuberculosis is suspected, tests or close observation may then be required until the suspicion can be ruled out.

Additional indicator

On medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.

• G: Confirmed diagnosis
• V: Tentative diagnosis
• Z: Condition after
• A: Excluded diagnosis
• L: Left
• R: Right
• B: Both sides
