Tox eff of carb monx fr incmpl combst dmst fuel,slf-hrm,subs

This code signifies a toxic reaction to carbon monoxide poisoning resulting from the deliberate inhalation of fumes produced by the incomplete combustion of household fuels other than utility gas or motor vehicle exhaust. This specific code is used for encounters following the initial treatment of the poisoning.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who intentionally poisoned themselves with carbon monoxide originating from sources like charcoal grills, kerosene heaters, or wood-burning stoves used indoors. This includes subsequent visits for monitoring, managing lingering symptoms, or addressing complications related to the initial self-harm attempt.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "intentional self-harm" and specifies a domestic fuel source other than utility gas or motor vehicle exhaust.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the poisoning.
• Always sequence this code after any codes for the specific manifestations or complications of the carbon monoxide poisoning.
