Adverse effect of hormones and synthetic sub, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or residual condition resulting from a past adverse reaction to various hormonal medications or synthetic substitutes, excluding specific categories like adrenal cortical steroids, androgens, estrogens, or progestins. It indicates that the initial adverse effect has resolved, but its lasting consequences are still present and require ongoing management.

Apply this code when documenting a sequela, such as chronic organ damage, persistent metabolic derangements, or permanent neurological deficits, that are directly attributable to a previously experienced adverse effect of an "other hormone" or synthetic substitute. This is used when the acute adverse event itself is no longer active, but its lasting impact is being treated.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific residual condition being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current sequela to a past adverse effect of an "other hormone" or synthetic substitute.
• Distinguish from acute adverse effects (which would use the initial encounter or subsequent encounter seventh character) and poisoning.
