Personal history of forced labor or sexual exploitation in childhood
ICD-10 Z62.813 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of personal history of forced labor or sexual exploitation in childhood.
Z62.813 captures the personal history of individuals who experienced forced labor or sexual exploitation during childhood.
