Poisoning by unsp psychostimulants, self-harm, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care after intentionally self-poisoning with an unspecified psychostimulant. The initial event involved a deliberate act of self-harm using a stimulant drug that was not identified more specifically.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for a patient who previously attempted suicide or self-injury by ingesting an unknown psychostimulant. This includes visits for ongoing medical management, psychiatric evaluation, or therapy related to the poisoning event.

• Requires a seventh character "D" for subsequent encounter, indicating ongoing care after the initial treatment.
• Ensure documentation clearly states "unspecified psychostimulant" if a more specific drug is unknown.
• Always sequence this code after any codes for the specific sequelae or complications resulting from the poisoning.
