Child Sexual Abuse

Sexual abuse is one form of child abuse. It includes a wide range of actions between a child and an adult or older child. Often these involve body contact, but not always. Exposing one's genitals to children or pressuring them for sex is sexual abuse. Using a child for pornography is also sexual abuse.

Questions About Z62.813Overview

Is Z62.813 (Personal history of abuse in childhood) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report personal history of forced labor or sexual exploitation in childhood on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

Can Z62.813 be a principal diagnosis?

No. The Medicare Code Editor rejects this code as a principal diagnosis because personal history of forced labor or sexual exploitation in childhood describes a circumstance that influences health status rather than a current illness. Report it as a secondary diagnosis.

Is Z62.813 exempt from POA reporting?

Yes. CMS lists this code among those exempt from present on admission reporting, so hospitals do not assign a POA indicator for personal history of forced labor or sexual exploitation in childhood on inpatient claims.
