Poisoning by other psychostimulants, assault, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or residual effect resulting from a poisoning event involving psychostimulants other than cocaine, amphetamines, or methamphetamines. The poisoning was intentionally inflicted by another person with the intent to harm. The patient is no longer experiencing the acute effects of the poisoning.

Apply this code when documenting chronic conditions, permanent disabilities, or other lasting health problems directly attributable to a past psychostimulant poisoning that occurred as an assault. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis describing the specific sequela (e.g., neurological damage, organ dysfunction).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past psychostimulant poisoning and specifies the assault intent.
• Do not use this code for acute poisoning events; instead, use the appropriate acute poisoning code with the 7th character for initial or subsequent encounter.
