Poisoning by hemostatic drug, assault, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications arising from an intentional overdose or poisoning by a hemostatic drug, administered with malicious intent. These sequelae could include persistent coagulopathies, organ damage, or neurological deficits that manifest after the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with residual conditions directly attributable to a past hemostatic drug poisoning that was determined to be an assault. This applies to follow-up encounters for chronic issues, permanent disabilities, or ongoing treatment related to the original event. Do not use for the initial acute poisoning event.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past hemostatic drug assault.
• Verify the intent of the poisoning was indeed an assault, not accidental or self-harm, as indicated in the medical record.
