The 2015 ICD-10 Diagnosis Codes, effective October 1, 2015, (not the 2014 ICD-9 and not previous revised codes), authorize that the Coach can be identified and named as the perpetrator of Child and Youth Adult Athlete Physical and Psychological Endangerment, Maltreatment and Abuse and Sexual Abuse.
The Coach (teacher, supervisor) now has a reportable, billable, data mine-able ICD-10 Diagnostic Code i.e. Y07.53, which describes the circumstances and the specific perpetrator, precisely the Coach, that caused the incident, injury and/or death (morbidity and mortality) to a Child or Youth Adult Athlete.
The new, broader categories and more specific ICD-10 definitions include codes for both Child and Youth Adult (Athlete), Physical and Psychological Maltreatment, Sexual Abuse and Neglect and Child and Youth Adult (Athlete) Unspecified Maltreatments, when modifier YO7.53 is applied.
The new definitions include the definition for “Coach Temporary Substitute Caregiver”, the offender, and the circumstances affecting the Athlete victim(s).
The legal Coach-Amateur Athlete relationship is now “crystal clear”. Responsible Coach overseers should hasten to educate and enlighten Coaches, the athletic community and everyone about the Coaches ‘Duty of Care’.
This research journalist has been attempting to inform everyone for several years for the sake of Athletes, Coaches, (who have been legally blindsided), and everyone concerned, about the inevitable revision of the, heretofore, obscure among definitions.
The new ICD-10 Diagnostic Codes, went into effect October 1, 2015, and are utilized by international doctors and health care personnel for medical diagnoses, procedures, medical charting and billing purposes and are much broader categories, allowing for more specific definitions, than the ICD-9 codes,
Previously and merely 2015 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES; Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, emphasized and included domestic offenses and victimizations and left much for doctors and health carers interpretations, when providing patient care. Perpetrator codes are now clear and specific.
