Z69 ICD-10-CM Code: Encounter for mental health services for victim and perpetrator of abuse

Z69 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for encounter for mental health services for victim and perpetrator of abuse. Z69 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for factors influencing health status and contact with health services (z00-z99), within the section covering persons encountering health services in other circumstances (z69-z76).

Header codes like Z69 cannot be reported on claims directly; they organize child codes that share clinical context. Coders should select the billable child code that matches the documented presentation and then verify its current source-backed HCC mapping. Do not infer a child code or risk adjustment value from the header alone.
