    It’s a SDoH (Social Determinants of Health) code (almost certainly Z59.6 - Persons with potential health hazards related to socioeconomic and psychosocial circumstances - Problems Relating to Housing and Economic Circumstances - Low Income).

    Probably not intended to be a primary diagnosis. Somebody else mentioned that a lot of EHR software will grab whatever the first diagnosis code is and display it as the primary.
