Non-binary partner, current, perp of maltreat and neglect

This code identifies a situation where a non-binary individual, who is currently in a partnership with the victim, is the person responsible for acts of maltreatment or neglect. This encompasses various forms of abuse, including physical, emotional, sexual, or neglectful behaviors inflicted by the partner.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates that the perpetrator of abuse or neglect is the patient's current non-binary partner. This is typically used in conjunction with codes describing the specific type of abuse or neglect suffered by the patient.

• Always sequence this code after the primary code identifying the specific type of abuse or neglect.
• Ensure documentation explicitly states the perpetrator's relationship as "current partner" and their gender identity as "non-binary."
• Do not use if the perpetrator is a former partner or if their gender identity is not specified as non-binary.
