T76Adult and child abuse, neglect and other maltreatment, suspected

T76 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for adult and child abuse, neglect and other maltreatment, suspected. 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 8 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: T76.0 (suspected), T76.1 (suspected), T76.2 (suspected), T76.3 (suspected), T76.5 (suspected), T76.6 (suspected), T76.9 (suspected) and T76.A (suspected).

Don't report T76 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: adult and child maltreatment, confirmed (T74.-), suspected abuse and maltreatment in pregnancy (O9A.3-, O9A.4-, O9A.5-), suspected adult physical abuse, ruled out (Z04.71), suspected adult sexual abuse, ruled out (Z04.41) and 2 more.

Use an additional code, if applicable, to identify any associated current injury.

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