T74Adult and child abuse, neglect and other maltreatment, confirmed

T74 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for adult and child abuse, neglect and other maltreatment, confirmed. It belongs to block T66-T78 (other and unspecified effects of external causes) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 9 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: T74.0 (confirmed), T74.1 (confirmed), T74.2 (confirmed), T74.3 (confirmed), T74.4 (syndrome), T74.5 (confirmed), T74.6 (confirmed), T74.9 (confirmed) and 1 more.

Don't report T74 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: abuse and maltreatment in pregnancy (O9A.3-, O9A.4-, O9A.5-) and adult and child maltreatment, suspected (T76.-).

Use an additional code, if applicable, to identify any associated current injury. Use an additional code for: external cause code to identify perpetrator, if known (Y07.-).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
