O9A.3 (Physical abuse complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium) compared with T76.62XD (Child forced labor exploitation, suspected, subsequent 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. T76.62XD 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).
