Male partner, current, perpetrator of maltreat and neglect

This code signifies that a current male partner is identified as the perpetrator of maltreatment or neglect. This includes various forms of abuse such as physical, emotional, sexual, or neglectful behaviors inflicted upon another individual.

This code is used when documenting a confirmed or suspected case where a current male partner is the identified source of harm or neglect. It is appropriate in situations involving domestic violence, elder abuse, or child abuse where the perpetrator fits this specific demographic and relationship.

• Ensure documentation clearly identifies the perpetrator as a "male partner" and that the relationship is "current."
• Always code the specific type of maltreatment or neglect (e.g., T74.11XA for adult physical abuse, confirmed) in conjunction with this perpetrator code.
• This code is for the perpetrator's role; the victim's injuries and circumstances should be coded separately.
