Poisoning by thrombolytic drug, assault, subs encntr

This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse effects from a thrombolytic medication, where the drug was administered with malicious intent by another party. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for the poisoning after initial treatment.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing management or complications arising from a thrombolytic drug overdose that was intentionally inflicted. This includes scenarios such as follow-up appointments for organ damage, bleeding complications, or neurological sequelae resulting from the assault.

• Always pair this code with an external cause code (e.g., Y09.-) to fully describe the assault.
• Ensure documentation clearly supports the "assault" nature of the poisoning, not accidental or self-harm.
• Distinguish from initial encounters (A) or sequela (S) encounters based on the phase of care.
