Poisoning by glucocort/synth analog, accidental, sequela

This code signifies a past accidental or unintentional poisoning event involving glucocorticoids or their synthetic analogues, with residual effects or conditions that are still being managed. It indicates that the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved, but the patient continues to experience sequelae directly attributable to the original exposure.

Use this code when a patient presents for follow-up care or management of long-term complications resulting from an accidental glucocorticoid poisoning. Examples include chronic adrenal insufficiency, electrolyte imbalances, or other organ damage that developed as a consequence of the initial toxic exposure.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past accidental glucocorticoid poisoning.
• Verify the "S" seventh character for sequela, indicating a late effect of the poisoning.
