ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
GZ14ZZZ	Psychological Tests, Neurobehavioral and Cognitive Status

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient is admitted after an acute ischemic stroke with new-onset confusion and memory loss; the team needs standardized assessment of attention, memory, executive function, and visuospatial skills to inform inpatient rehabilitation planning and discharge disposition, so a neurobehavioral and cognitive status psychological test is performed. Typical codes: GZ14ZZZ
A middle-aged patient with a history of traumatic brain injury is hospitalized for observation after a seizure and demonstrates fluctuating cognition and impaired decision-making; to quantify baseline cognitive deficits and guide inpatient therapy and safety recommendations, a structured cognitive and neurobehavioral testing battery is administered and interpreted. Typical codes: GZ14ZZZ
A psychiatric inpatient with new acute delirium superimposed on dementia is evaluated after sudden worsening of orientation and executive dysfunction; standardized neurobehavioral and cognitive testing is used to differentiate delirium from baseline cognitive impairment and to support treatment and discharge planning. Typical codes: GZ14ZZZ
