Submit one of these 3 more specific codes instead:

  • Z69.0 Encounter for mental health services for child abuse problems (also a header)
  • Z69.1 Encounter for mental health services for spousal or partner abuse problems (also a header)
  • Z69.8 Encounter for mental health services for victim or perpetrator of other abuse (also a header)
