Can Z74.01 be a principal diagnosis?

No. The Medicare Code Editor rejects this code as a principal diagnosis because bed confinement status describes a circumstance that influences health status rather than a current illness. Report it as a secondary diagnosis.

Is Z74.01 exempt from POA reporting?

Yes. CMS lists this code among those exempt from present on admission reporting, so hospitals do not assign a POA indicator for bed confinement status on inpatient claims.
