Poisoning by other opioids, intentional self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from a previous act of self-poisoning using an opioid other than heroin, methadone, or fentanyl. The initial intentional self-harm event has already occurred, and the patient is now presenting with a residual effect directly attributable to that past poisoning.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current medical condition that is a direct sequela of a prior intentional self-harm attempt involving an opioid not specified elsewhere. Examples include chronic organ damage, neurological deficits, or persistent mental health issues stemming from the original overdose. This code is used after the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional opioid self-poisoning.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; this code is exclusively for long-term effects.
