Toxic effect of chlorofluorocarbons, undetermined, init

This code signifies a harmful reaction in a patient due to exposure to chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), where the intent of the exposure (e.g., accidental, intentional self-harm, assault) cannot be determined. This initial encounter indicates the patient is receiving active treatment for the toxic effects.

Apply this code when a patient presents with symptoms of CFC toxicity, and the medical record does not clearly specify whether the exposure was accidental, intentional, or due to assault. This is appropriate for the first time the patient is seen for this specific toxic event.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "chlorofluorocarbons" as the causative agent.
• Only use the "undetermined" intent when the medical record lacks sufficient information to assign accidental, intentional, or assault.
• The "A" (initial encounter) seventh character is for when the patient is actively receiving treatment for the condition.
