Poisoning by cocaine, intentional self-harm, init encntr

This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse effects resulting from the deliberate ingestion or administration of cocaine with the intent to cause self-harm. The patient is in the initial phase of treatment for this poisoning event.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a cocaine overdose or toxic reaction that was self-inflicted, such as a suicide attempt. This is appropriate for the first encounter where the patient is receiving active treatment for the poisoning.

• Always verify physician documentation explicitly states "intentional self-harm" or "suicide attempt" related to cocaine.
• Do not use for accidental poisoning or therapeutic misadventures; those require different intent characters.
• Ensure the encounter is the initial one for this specific poisoning episode; subsequent encounters will use a different seventh character.
