Personal history of intimate partner abuse in childhood

This diagnosis code indicates a patient's past experience of intimate partner abuse during their childhood. It signifies that the individual was a victim of abuse within a romantic or familial relationship during their formative years, which may have long-term psychological or physical health implications.

This code is appropriate when documenting a patient's historical exposure to intimate partner abuse during childhood, particularly when this history is relevant to their current medical or psychological care. It should be used when the abuse occurred in childhood and is not an active, confirmed case of abuse currently being treated.

• Do not use this code for active or confirmed cases of child abuse, neglect, or other maltreatment; refer to the T74.- series for those situations.
• This code is for a personal history and should be used as a secondary diagnosis when the historical abuse impacts current care or treatment planning.
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the abuse occurred during childhood and involved an intimate partner dynamic.
