O9A.3 vs T76
O9A.3 (Physical abuse complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium) compared with T76 (Adult and child abuse, neglect and other maltreatment, suspected), 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. T76 carries an Excludes1 note covering O9A.3: “suspected 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).
