Poisoning by androgens and anabolic congeners, acc, subs

This code signifies an accidental overdose or adverse reaction to androgenic or anabolic steroid medications during a follow-up visit. It indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing care for the effects of an unintentional poisoning by these substances.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is being treated for complications arising from an accidental ingestion, incorrect dosage, or unintended exposure to androgens or anabolic congeners. This includes follow-up appointments for monitoring organ damage, managing withdrawal symptoms, or addressing other long-term effects of the poisoning.

• Always assign an external cause code (e.g., from the Y90-Y99 range) to describe the circumstances of the poisoning.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the poisoning was accidental and that this is not the initial encounter for treatment.
• Consider additional codes for specific manifestations or complications of the poisoning, such as liver damage or cardiovascular issues.
