What This Code Means

O9A.42 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for sexual abuse complicating childbirth. A woman is experiencing sexual abuse during the labor and delivery process (childbirth). This code documents sexual abuse that occurs at the time of delivery. O9A.42 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (o00-o9a), within the section covering other obstetric conditions, not elsewhere classified (o94-o9a).

O9A.42 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

This represents a serious violation during an extremely vulnerable time; ensure thorough documentation of the incident and any injuries.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for O9A.42 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
