Female cousin, perpetrator of maltreatment and neglect

This code identifies a female cousin as the individual responsible for abuse or neglect. It indicates that the patient has experienced maltreatment, and the perpetrator has been identified as a female cousin.

This code is used when documenting a diagnosis of abuse or neglect where the identified perpetrator is the patient's female cousin. This applies to various forms of maltreatment, including physical, emotional, sexual, or neglect. It should be assigned when the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator is clearly established as female cousin.

• Always assign an additional code to specify the type of maltreatment (e.g., T74.11XA for adult physical abuse, confirmed).
• Ensure documentation clearly identifies the perpetrator's relationship to the patient as a female cousin.
• This code is for the perpetrator's relationship, not the victim's gender. The victim can be male or female.
