Daycare center childcare prov, perp of maltreat and neglect

This code identifies a specific perpetrator of child maltreatment or neglect as a daycare center childcare provider. It indicates that the harm inflicted upon a child, whether physical, emotional, or through neglect, originated from an individual employed within a daycare facility responsible for the child's care. This code is used in conjunction with codes describing the specific type of maltreatment.

Use this code when documentation clearly states that a child's abuse or neglect was perpetrated by a staff member at a daycare center. This applies to situations where the daycare provider is identified as the direct cause of the maltreatment, not merely an environment where it occurred by another party. It should be assigned as an external cause code.

• Always assign this code secondary to a code describing the specific type of child maltreatment (e.g., T74.01XA for child physical abuse, confirmed).
• Ensure documentation explicitly names a "daycare center childcare provider" as the perpetrator; avoid assumptions.
• Do not use if the perpetrator is a different type of caregiver, even if the event occurred at a daycare (e.g., another child, a parent visiting).
