Poisoning by unsp hormone antagonists, self-harm, subs

Poisoning by unspecified hormone antagonists, intentional self-harm, subsequent encounter

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a patient's self-inflicted poisoning from an unknown hormone antagonist, indicating a deliberate act to cause harm. It is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for the sequelae or complications of this initial event. The specific hormone antagonist involved is not identified in the medical record.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code for subsequent encounters where a patient is being treated for the ongoing effects or complications of a previously documented intentional self-harm poisoning by an unspecified hormone antagonist. This includes follow-up appointments, rehabilitation, or management of chronic issues stemming from the initial event. Do not use for the initial acute poisoning episode.

💡Coding Tips

Requires an additional code for the specific manifestation of the poisoning.
Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial acute treatment.
Ensure documentation clearly states "intentional self-harm" and "unspecified hormone antagonist."
