Poisoning by oral contraceptives, assault, subs encntr

This code signifies a non-accidental overdose or harmful exposure to oral contraceptives, where the intent was to cause harm to the patient. It specifically applies to situations where the patient is receiving follow-up care for injuries or complications resulting from such an assault.

This code is appropriate for documenting subsequent encounters related to an intentional poisoning by oral contraceptives, such as follow-up appointments for monitoring organ function, managing lingering side effects, or addressing psychological trauma. It should be used after the initial acute phase of treatment for the assault.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis describing the specific effects of the poisoning (e.g., acute kidney failure, cardiac arrhythmias).
• Ensure documentation clearly supports the "assault" intent and that the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Consider adding external cause codes (e.g., Y07.-) to provide further detail about the circumstances of the assault.
