Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with T76 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- adult and child maltreatment, confirmed (T74.-)
- suspected abuse and maltreatment in pregnancy (O9A.3-, O9A.4-, O9A.5-)
- suspected adult physical abuse, ruled out (Z04.71)
- suspected adult sexual abuse, ruled out (Z04.41)
- suspected child physical abuse, ruled out (Z04.72)
- suspected child sexual abuse, ruled out (Z04.42)
Use additional code
Report an additional code alongside T76 to fully describe the condition. T76 is sequenced first.
- code, if applicable, to identify any associated current injury
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside T76 to fully describe the condition. T76 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of T76, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T76 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Code also — inherited from T66-T78
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether T76 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- , if applicable, place of occurrence, such as:
- highway rest stop (Y92.523)

- single-family non-institutional (private) house as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.01-)
