Adult financial abuse, confirmed, sequela

This code signifies a confirmed instance of financial abuse perpetrated against an adult, where the long-term effects or complications of that abuse are currently being treated or evaluated. It indicates that the initial abusive event has passed, but the patient is still experiencing residual consequences.

Apply this code when documenting care for an adult patient who is presenting with sequelae directly attributable to a previously confirmed financial abuse incident. This includes situations where the patient is seeking treatment for psychological distress, financial ruin, or other lasting impacts resulting from the abuse.

• Requires documentation of "confirmed" financial abuse and the specific "sequela" being addressed.
• Do not use for active financial abuse; this code is specifically for residual effects.
• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis describing the specific sequela (e.g., major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, homelessness).
