Poisoning by oth estrogens and progestogens, self-harm, subs

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient who has intentionally self-poisoned using estrogens or progestogens. This indicates the patient is receiving ongoing care after the initial acute event of self-harm through medication overdose. The intent of self-harm is a critical component of this diagnosis.

Use this code for subsequent visits related to the management of a patient's self-inflicted poisoning by estrogen or progestogen medications. This includes follow-up appointments for medical stabilization, psychiatric evaluation, or ongoing treatment for complications arising from the overdose. It is appropriate when the patient is no longer in the initial acute phase but still requires care directly related to the self-harm event.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "intentional self-harm" and that the encounter is not the initial presentation.
• Verify the specific substance involved is an estrogen or progestogen.
• Always sequence this code after any codes for the acute effects or complications of the poisoning.
