Poisn by oth nonsteroid anti-inflam drugs, self-harm, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care related to an intentional overdose of an NSAID other than aspirin, salicylates, or propionic acid derivatives. The patient deliberately ingested an excessive amount of the medication with the intent to harm themselves.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for patients who previously presented with an intentional non-aspirin NSAID poisoning. This includes follow-up appointments for psychiatric evaluation, monitoring for delayed complications, or management of ongoing physical effects stemming from the self-harm attempt.

• Always assign an additional code for the specific NSAID involved, if known.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is used only for subsequent encounters after the initial treatment of the poisoning.
• Consider co-reporting with codes for underlying mental health conditions contributing to the self-harm.
