Poisoning by oth systemic anti-infect/parasit, assault, subs

This code indicates a patient presenting for follow-up care or sequelae related to an intentional overdose or harmful exposure to a systemic anti-infective or antiparasitic medication, where the intent was assault. This includes adverse effects or complications arising from the initial poisoning event.

Use this code when documenting subsequent encounters for patients who were poisoned by another person administering a systemic anti-infective or antiparasitic agent with malicious intent. This applies to visits for ongoing treatment, monitoring of long-term effects, or management of complications after the initial acute phase of poisoning.

• Always assign an additional code for the specific anti-infective or antiparasitic agent involved, if known.
• Do not use this code for accidental poisonings or self-harm; differentiate intent carefully.
• Ensure documentation clearly supports the "assault" intent and the "subsequent encounter" status.
