Poisn by androgens and anabolic congeners, self-harm, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care or treatment of adverse effects resulting from an intentional overdose or misuse of androgenic or anabolic steroid substances. The self-harm intent is a key component, distinguishing it from accidental exposures or therapeutic misadventures.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for patients who previously attempted suicide or self-harm using androgens or anabolic steroids. This includes visits for ongoing management of organ damage, psychological counseling, or monitoring for long-term complications related to the poisoning event.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis for the specific adverse effect or complication being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly supports the "intentional self-harm" intent and that the encounter is for follow-up care ("subsequent encounter").
• Do not use for initial treatment of the acute poisoning; a different 7th character would be appropriate for the initial encounter.
