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

This code identifies a perpetrator of abuse or neglect as a former non-binary partner of the victim. It signifies that the individual who inflicted maltreatment or neglect identifies outside the male/female gender binary and previously had an intimate relationship with the patient.

Apply this code when documenting cases of abuse or neglect where the identified perpetrator is a former non-binary partner. This is typically used in conjunction with codes describing the specific type of abuse (e.g., physical, emotional, sexual) and the victim's injuries or conditions.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis describing the maltreatment or neglect.
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the perpetrator's relationship as a "former partner" and their non-binary gender identity.
• Do not use this code if the perpetrator is a current partner or if their gender identity is not explicitly documented as non-binary.
