Poisoning by hemostatic drug, assault, initial encounter

This code signifies an intentional act of harm involving a hemostatic drug, such as an antifibrinolytic or procoagulant agent, administered with the intent to injure another person. The patient is experiencing the initial effects or treatment for this poisoning.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient has been poisoned by a hemostatic drug as a result of an assault. This applies to the initial presentation and active treatment phase of the poisoning.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "assault" as the intent of the poisoning.
• Verify that the drug involved is classified as a hemostatic agent.
• Append subsequent encounter (D) or sequela (S) characters for follow-up care related to this poisoning.
