T76.12 vs Z62.810

T76.12 (Child physical abuse, suspected) compared with Z62.810 (Personal history of physical and sexual 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. Z62.810 carries an Excludes1 note covering T76.12: “current child physical abuse (T74.12, T76.12)”

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