Poisoning by oth estrogens and progstrn, undetermined, init

This code signifies a poisoning event involving other estrogens or progestogens where the intent (e.g., accidental, intentional self-harm, assault) cannot be determined. It indicates the patient is receiving active treatment for the acute effects of the poisoning.

Use this code when a patient presents with symptoms of poisoning from estrogen or progestogen medications, and the medical record does not clearly specify whether the exposure was accidental, intentional, or due to assault. This code is appropriate for the initial visit or encounter where the poisoning is being evaluated and treated.

• Always sequence this code first for poisoning cases, followed by codes for any associated manifestations or injuries.
• Ensure documentation clearly supports "undetermined" intent; otherwise, a more specific intent code should be chosen.
• The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter, meaning the patient is actively receiving care for the condition.
