Hello,
I am mental not able to handle the abuse codes. For some reason they are driving me mad! I can't make heads or tails what I am sure is a very simple explanation. I am hoping someone has a link or a tip that will help me.
Is this correct?
Abuse VICTIM CONFIRMED - T74
Abuse VICTIM SUSPECTED - T76
Abuse PERPETRATOR Confirmed - Y07
Abuse PERPETRATOR SUSPECTED - am I blind? I can't find this.
I have a few perpetrator suspected and confirmed. When I use my 3M, I was using for the perpetrator or physical abuse of a child, T76.12XA. I am getting an age conflict, so I changed it to T76.11XA and the error went away. But the Adult and Peds codes in this section I read as these are the victims, not the perpetrators. I am coding this as the adult abusing the child, which made sense for T76.12XA. If I code T76.11XA, I read that as adult abuse of an adult.
I have read several articles and looked at several things but I am not able for some very odd reason able to get my head around these codes. Anyone have a good article I can read or something simple I am just missing??
Thank you!
