Female partner, current, perpetrator of maltreat and neglect

This code identifies a situation where a female current partner is the perpetrator of maltreatment or neglect against another individual. This encompasses various forms of abuse, including physical, emotional, sexual, or neglectful acts, perpetrated by a woman in an ongoing intimate relationship.

This code is appropriate when documenting the perpetrator of abuse or neglect, and the identified individual is the patient's current female partner. It should be used in conjunction with codes describing the specific type of maltreatment or neglect suffered by the victim.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis code describing the specific type of abuse or neglect.
• Ensure documentation clearly identifies the perpetrator as the patient's current female partner.
• Do not use this code if the perpetrator is a former partner or a female individual who is not a current partner.
