Poisoning by oral contraceptives, assault, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health problem or complication resulting from an intentional act of poisoning with oral contraceptives. The poisoning was inflicted by another person with the intent to harm. The sequela could manifest as various chronic conditions affecting the reproductive system, endocrine system, or other body systems, depending on the specific effects of the contraceptive overdose.

This code is appropriate when documenting a current condition that is a direct, lasting consequence of a past assault involving oral contraceptive poisoning. It should be used after the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved, and the patient is being treated for the residual effects. Examples include chronic hormonal imbalances, organ damage, or psychological sequelae directly attributable to the past assault.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past assault involving oral contraceptives.
• Do not use this code for acute poisoning; use the appropriate acute poisoning code with the assault external cause code for the initial event.
