Adult forced sexual exploitation, suspected, subs

This code signifies a suspected case of forced sexual exploitation in an adult patient, where the encounter is not the initial presentation. It indicates that the healthcare provider suspects the patient is being subjected to non-consensual sexual acts for the benefit of another, and this is a follow-up visit related to that suspicion.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when an adult patient presents with ongoing signs, symptoms, or disclosures that suggest forced sexual exploitation, and this is not the first time the suspicion has been documented. This could include follow-up appointments for physical injuries, mental health support, or further assessment related to the suspected exploitation.

• Always sequence this code after any codes for specific injuries, mental health conditions, or other sequelae directly resulting from the suspected exploitation.
• Ensure documentation clearly supports the "suspected" nature of the exploitation and that it is a subsequent encounter.
• Do not use this code for confirmed cases of forced sexual exploitation; refer to the appropriate confirmed exploitation codes.
