T74.92 vs Z62.819

T74.92 (Unspecified child maltreatment, confirmed) compared with Z62.819 (Personal history of unspecified abuse in childhood), 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. Z62.819 carries an Excludes1 note covering T74.92: “current child abuse NOS (T74.92, T76.92)”

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

Yes, when both are documented. Z62.819 carries an Excludes2 note covering T74.92: “maltreatment syndrome (T74.-)”
