Code Description

ICD-10 Z62.814 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of personal history of child financial abuse.

Key Diagnostic Point:

Z62.814 refers to a documented personal history of financial abuse experienced during childhood. Financial abuse can manifest as the exploitation of a child's financial resources, coercion into financial decisions, or deprivation of financial support necessary for their well-being. This history can significantly influence an individual's health status, leading to long-term psychological effects such as anxiety, depression, and trust issues. It is essential for healthcare providers to recognize the impact of such experiences on a patient's overall health and their interactions with health services. Preventive care may include mental health screenings and counseling, while aftercare could involve ongoing support for mental health issues stemming from this abuse. Understanding social determinants of health, such as socioeconomic status and access to resources, is crucial in addressing the needs of individuals with this history, ensuring they receive appropriate preventive and therapeutic interventions.
