Z69.02Encounter for mental health services for non-parental child abuse

Z69.02 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for encounter for mental health services for non-parental child abuse. It belongs to category Z69 (encounter for mental health services for victim and perpetrator of abuse), block Z69-Z76 (persons encountering health services in other circumstances) and chapter 21 (factors influencing health status and contact with health services). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Z69.0 (encounter for mental health services for child abuse problems), Z69.02 is specifically for encounter for mental health services for non-parental child abuse. Related codes cover parental child abuse (Z69.01).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Z69.020 (abuse) and Z69.021 (abuse).

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