What does W6000 pertain to in the context of minor mental health holds?

• A. Legal code
• B. Minors placed on a Voluntary hold
• C. Involuntary detention for adults
• D. Education-based case management

Answer: (C)

W6000 is a charting/code designation used in mental health settings to indicate an involuntary detention of an adult for evaluation and treatment. It marks that the person is held against their will under mental health hold procedures, rather than a voluntary hold or any education-based case management. It’s not a minor-specific code, so even in contexts mentioning minors, this code is understood to apply to adults.
