Child financial abuse, suspected, subsequent encounter

This diagnosis code indicates a suspected instance of financial abuse against a child, identified during an encounter subsequent to the initial discovery. It signifies that there is an ongoing concern or investigation regarding the misuse or exploitation of a child's financial resources by a caregiver or other responsible party.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a child's financial abuse is suspected and being further evaluated, or when the patient is receiving services related to the suspected abuse after the initial report. It should be used when there is continued monitoring or intervention for a child whose financial well-being is believed to be compromised.

• This code is for suspected abuse, not confirmed abuse.
• The "D" in the seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for the condition.
• Always sequence this code after any codes for the specific injuries or conditions resulting from the abuse.
