GZ6 is a non-billable ICD-10-PCS code that heads the group for Mental Health, Counseling, so it cannot be submitted on a claim; a more specific seven-character code is required. The root operation Counseling involves the application of psychological methods to treat an individual with normal developmental issues and psychological problems in order to increase function, improve well-being, alleviate distress, maladjustment or resolve crises.
