Poisoning by oth antipsychot/neurolept, self-harm, subs

This code signifies a patient's intentional self-poisoning with an antipsychotic or neuroleptic medication, excluding phenothiazine-based drugs. It indicates that the encounter is for follow-up care, monitoring, or treatment of complications related to the initial self-harm event.

Use this code for subsequent visits where a patient is being treated for the effects of an intentional overdose of non-phenothiazine antipsychotics or neuroleptics. This includes scenarios like follow-up appointments after discharge from an emergency department, ongoing management of organ damage, or psychiatric evaluations related to the self-harm attempt.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "intentional self-harm" and specifies a non-phenothiazine antipsychotic or neuroleptic.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter; verify this is not the initial treatment for the poisoning.
• Always code any associated mental health conditions or physical injuries resulting from the poisoning.
