T76.5Forced sexual exploitation, suspected

T76.5 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for forced sexual exploitation, suspected. It belongs to category T76 (adult and child abuse, neglect and other maltreatment, suspected), 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T76 (adult and child abuse, neglect and other maltreatment, suspected), T76.5 is specifically for forced sexual exploitation, suspected. Related codes cover neglect or abandonment, suspected (T76.0), physical abuse, suspected (T76.1), sexual abuse, suspected (T76.2), psychological abuse, suspected (T76.3), forced labor exploitation, suspected (T76.6), unspecified maltreatment, suspected (T76.9) and financial abuse, suspected (T76.A).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

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