Poisn by oth antieplptc and sed-hypntc drugs, slf-hrm, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care or treatment of complications arising from an intentional overdose of antiepileptic or sedative-hypnotic medications. The poisoning was self-inflicted with the intent to cause harm.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for patients who previously attempted suicide or self-harm by ingesting an excessive amount of antiepileptic or sedative-hypnotic drugs. This includes visits for ongoing medical management, psychiatric evaluation, or treatment of residual effects.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "intentional self-harm" as the intent of the poisoning.
• This "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.
• Always code the specific drug(s) involved if known, using additional codes from categories T36-T50.
