About Y07.44
Y07.44 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for child, perpetrator of maltreatment and neglect. It belongs to category Y07 (perpetrator of assault, maltreatment and neglect), block X92-Y09 (assault) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Within Y07.4 (other family member, perpetrator of maltreatment and neglect), Y07.44 is specifically for child, perpetrator of maltreatment and neglect. Related codes cover sibling, perpetrator of maltreatment and neglect (Y07.41), foster parent, perpetrator of maltreatment and neglect (Y07.42), Stepparent or stepsibling, perpetrator of maltreatment and neglect (Y07.43), Grandchild, perpetrator of maltreatment and neglect (Y07.45), grandparent, perpetrator of maltreatment and neglect (Y07.46), parental sibling, perpetrator of maltreatment and neglect (Y07.47) and other family member, perpetrator of maltreatment and neglect (Y07.49).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.
It was added in FY2023, effective October 1, 2022.
