Encounter for mental health services for victim and perpetrator of abuse (Z69)
The ICD-10 code Z69 is used to document encounters for mental health services specifically related to victims and perpetrators of various forms of abuse. This section includes codes for child abuse, spousal or partner abuse, and other types of abuse, capturing distinct encounters for victims and offenders.
The ICD-10 code for child abuse includes subcategories such as Z69.0 for general child abuse, with further distinctions for parental child abuse (Z69.01) and non-parental child abuse (Z69.02). Codes like Z69.010 and Z69.011 differentiate mental health visits for victims and perpetrators of parental child abuse, while Z69.020 and Z69.021 serve the same purpose for non-parental child abuse, sometimes referred to as counseling of perpetrators of non-parental child abuse. For spousal or partner abuse problems, codes Z69.1 to Z69.12 cover victims and perpetrators, with synonyms including counseling of perpetrators of partner abuse. Other abuse forms are addressed with codes Z69.8 to Z69.82, including abuse counseling for domestic violence victims and offenders. These codes help ensure accurate classification of mental health service encounters related to abuse cases in clinical documentation and billing.
