Poisn by selective serotonin reuptake inhibtr, acc, subs

This code signifies an accidental overdose or adverse reaction to a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that occurred unintentionally. The patient is receiving follow-up care for the sequelae of this poisoning event, which could include ongoing symptoms or complications.

Use this code for patients presenting for continued management of symptoms or complications arising from an accidental SSRI poisoning. This applies to visits after the initial acute treatment, such as follow-up appointments for cardiac monitoring, neurological assessment, or psychiatric evaluation related to the poisoning.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the poisoning was accidental and due to an SSRI.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine care during the healing or recovery phase.
• Always code the specific SSRI if known, using additional codes from the T43.2- category.
