Oth non-family member, perpetrator of maltreat and neglect

This code identifies situations where an individual has experienced maltreatment or neglect, and the person responsible for the abuse is not a family member. This includes various forms of harm such as physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, as well as neglect, perpetrated by someone outside the immediate or extended family unit.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates abuse or neglect by an acquaintance, friend, neighbor, caregiver (non-family), or any other non-familial individual. This is appropriate for both confirmed cases and suspected cases where the perpetrator's relationship to the victim is explicitly non-familial.

• Always sequence this code after the primary code identifying the specific type of abuse or neglect (e.g., T74.xx).
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states the perpetrator is not a family member to justify using this specific code.
• Avoid using this code if the perpetrator's relationship is ambiguous or if they are identified as a family member; use the appropriate Y07.0-Y07.4 codes instead.
