Adult forced sexual exploitation, confirmed, init

This code signifies a confirmed instance of an adult individual being subjected to forced sexual exploitation. It indicates that the exploitation has been verified and is being addressed for the first time in the patient's current care episode.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states an adult patient has experienced forced sexual exploitation, and this is the initial presentation or treatment for this specific event. This would be used in settings like emergency departments, crisis centers, or initial psychiatric evaluations following such an event.

• Ensure documentation explicitly confirms the forced nature of the sexual exploitation.
• Verify the patient is an adult to use this specific age-group code.
• Confirm this is the "initial encounter" for the treatment of this specific injury or condition.
