Poisoning by other hormone antagonists, assault, subs encntr

This code indicates a poisoning event resulting from the intentional administration of a hormone antagonist by another person, where the patient is receiving follow-up care for the initial injury. The specific substance involved is not further specified beyond being a hormone antagonist. This diagnosis is used when the patient is seen for ongoing management, complications, or sequelae of the assault.

Apply this code for patients presenting for subsequent care related to an assault involving an unspecified hormone antagonist. This includes visits for monitoring organ function, managing adverse effects, or addressing psychological trauma stemming from the poisoning. It is appropriate for any encounter after the initial treatment of the acute poisoning.

• Always ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for subsequent encounters; "A" is for initial, "S" for sequela.
• Verify documentation clearly states the poisoning was an assault and not accidental or self-harm.
• Look for documentation of the specific hormone antagonist if available, as more specific codes may exist.
