About T74.52XS
T74.52XS is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for child sexual exploitation, confirmed, sequela. It belongs to category T74 (adult and child abuse, neglect and other maltreatment, confirmed), block T66-T78 (other and unspecified effects of external causes) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
The 7th character "S" means sequela: use it for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of the original condition.
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 is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 922 (Other Injury, Poisoning and Toxic Effect Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.6238) and DRG 923 (Other Injury, Poisoning and Toxic Effect Diagnoses without MCC, relative weight 0.9973), in MDC 21 (Injuries, Poisonings and Toxic Effects of Drugs), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
The Medicare Code Editor expects this diagnosis only for patients age 0 through 17; other ages trigger an age-conflict edit.
It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.
It was added in FY2019, effective October 1, 2018.
