Child financial abuse, confirmed, subsequent encounter

This code signifies a confirmed instance of financial abuse perpetrated against a child, documented during a subsequent visit for care related to the abuse. It indicates that the initial diagnosis of financial abuse has been established, and the patient is presenting for ongoing management, evaluation, or treatment of the consequences stemming from this abuse.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a child is receiving medical or psychological care, counseling, or other services related to previously confirmed financial abuse. This includes visits for monitoring the child's well-being, addressing ongoing psychological trauma, or managing any physical manifestations that may have resulted from the abuse.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "confirmed" financial abuse and that this is not the initial diagnosis encounter.
• Always sequence this code after any codes for specific injuries, conditions, or mental health diagnoses resulting from the abuse.
• Verify the encounter type is indeed "subsequent" and not an initial assessment or an encounter for an unrelated condition.
