Poisoning by oth antipsychot/neurolept, assault, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse effects or toxicity resulting from the intentional administration of an "other" antipsychotic or neuroleptic medication by another party, occurring during a follow-up visit for the initial poisoning event. The patient is experiencing symptoms related to the poisoning, which was inflicted with malicious intent.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a patient is being treated for complications or ongoing symptoms of poisoning by an antipsychotic or neuroleptic drug (not otherwise specified) that was administered as an act of assault. This includes follow-up appointments for monitoring, medication adjustments, or management of persistent side effects after the initial acute phase.

• Always assign an additional code for the specific antipsychotic or neuroleptic drug if known, using a T36-T50 code.
• Ensure the seventh character "D" is used only for subsequent encounters after the initial treatment of the poisoning.
• Do not use this code for accidental poisonings, self-harm, or adverse effects from therapeutic use.
