The annual community review process for the Apple Health DC:0-5 Crosswalk will take place from October 5 until November 5, 2023. Feedback received through this review process will inform updates for the 2024 Apple Health DC:0-5™ Crosswalk, which is slated for publication on January 1, 2024.
The review process will begin with a Community Review Kick-off event, where HCA staff will share proposed crosswalk updates and the process to submit feedback. Attendance at this kick-off event is not required in order to submit feedback, and all meeting materials will be made publicly available.
As a reminder, IECMH community members are always welcome to submit feedback through the Apple Health DC:0-5™ Crosswalk feedback form. A link to this form is embedded on page 2 of the current Apple Health DC:0-5™ Crosswalk reference tool.

The DC:0-5™ is the internationally-accepted system for developmentally appropriate assessment of young children's mental health and is recommended as a best practice by both CMS and SAMHSA. State legislation requires Apple Health mental health professionals to use the DC:0-5™ for the assessment and diagnosis of children younger than six.
What is the Apple Health DC:0-5™ crosswalk?
The Apple Health DC:0-5™ Crosswalk is a reference tool that helps Apple Health providers ‘crosswalk’ DC:0-5™ diagnoses to associated ICD-10 diagnostic codes, which are required for Apple Health billing purposes.
HCA’s Apple Health DC:0-5™ Crosswalk is informed by community feedback and grounded infant-early childhood mental health research. The initial community-informed Apple Health DC:0-5™ Crosswalk was developed over the course of nine months in 2022, in partnership with a dedicated workgroup of infant-early childhood mental health (IECMH) providers and advocates.
