Poisoning by unsp psychotropic drug, self-harm, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care related to an intentional overdose of an unidentifiable psychotropic medication. The patient's self-harm attempt involved a drug affecting mental state or behavior, but the specific substance was not documented or determined.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for patients who previously attempted suicide or self-harm by ingesting an unknown psychotropic drug. This is appropriate for visits such as medication management, psychiatric evaluation, or therapy sessions following the initial acute poisoning event.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "intentional self-harm" and that the drug was "unspecified psychotropic."
• This code is for subsequent encounters; a different code would be used for the initial acute poisoning.
• Always sequence this code after any codes for the specific mental health conditions or injuries resulting from the self-harm attempt.
