T42.6X2A
ICD-10-CMPoisoning by other antiepileptic and sedative-hypnotic drugs, intentional self-harm, initial encounter
This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse effects from intentionally self-administering an overdose of antiepileptic or sedative-hypnotic medications, excluding barbiturates and benzodiazepines. The patient's intent was self-harm, and this is their first presentation for this specific poisoning event.
Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient ingested an excessive amount of a non-barbiturate, non-benzodiazepine antiepileptic or sedative-hypnotic drug with the explicit intent of self-harm. This is appropriate for the initial hospital visit or emergency department encounter related to the poisoning.
