Poisoning by hemostatic drug, assault, subsequent encounter

This code indicates a patient presenting with adverse effects from a hemostatic medication due to an intentional act of harm by another person. The "subsequent encounter" signifies that the patient is receiving follow-up care for the poisoning after initial treatment.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing management of complications arising from a hemostatic drug overdose or toxicity that was inflicted by another individual. Examples include follow-up visits for monitoring coagulation parameters, managing bleeding or clotting complications, or addressing organ damage resulting from the initial assault.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the poisoning was due to an assault and that this is not the initial encounter for treatment.
• Always code the specific hemostatic drug if known, using an additional code from T36-T50.
• Consider external cause codes (X92-Y09) to further specify the circumstances of the assault.
