T76.A2XA vs Z04.41

T76.A2XA (Child financial abuse, suspected, initial encounter) compared with Z04.41 (Encounter for examination and observation following alleged adult rape), 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.A2XA carries an Excludes1 note covering Z04.41: “suspected adult sexual abuse, ruled out (Z04.41)”

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