Poisn by succinimides and oxazolidinediones, assault, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care or treatment of adverse effects resulting from an intentional overdose or misuse of succinimide or oxazolidinedione medications, administered by another person with intent to harm. The patient is no longer in the acute phase of the poisoning but is still receiving care related to the event.

Use this code when documenting subsequent encounters for a patient who was poisoned by succinimides or oxazolidinediones due to an assault. This includes visits for ongoing management of organ damage, neurological sequelae, or psychological trauma directly resulting from the poisoning, after the initial acute treatment has concluded.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the poisoning was due to an assault and that this is a subsequent encounter.
• Always code with additional codes for specific manifestations of the poisoning (e.g., kidney failure, seizures).
• Do not use for initial acute care; refer to the appropriate initial encounter code for the acute phase.
