O9A.3 vs T74.A2XA

O9A.3 (Physical abuse complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium) compared with T74.A2XA (Child financial abuse, confirmed, initial encounter), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.

Can these codes be reported together?

No — do not report together. T74.A2XA carries an Excludes1 note covering O9A.3: “abuse and maltreatment in pregnancy (O9A.3-, O9A.4-, O9A.5-)”

Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
