Adult financial abuse, confirmed, initial encounter

This code signifies a confirmed instance of financial exploitation perpetrated against an adult. It indicates that an adult individual has been subjected to unauthorized or improper use of their funds, property, or assets for the benefit of another person, and this abuse has been substantiated.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states that an adult patient has been a victim of financial abuse, and the abuse has been confirmed through investigation or admission. This is appropriate for the initial encounter where the financial abuse is first identified, evaluated, or treated.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "confirmed" financial abuse.
• Verify the patient's age to confirm they are an adult.
• Use this code only for the initial encounter related to the confirmed financial abuse.
