Toxic effect of organophos and carbamate insect, asslt, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care or treatment related to poisoning from organophosphate or carbamate insecticides, where the exposure was intentionally inflicted by another person. The patient is no longer in the initial acute phase of treatment but requires ongoing management for the toxic effects.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for patients who have previously been treated for organophosphate or carbamate insecticide poisoning resulting from an assault. This includes follow-up appointments for symptom management, monitoring of organ function, or ongoing detoxification efforts after the initial acute care.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the poisoning was due to an assault and that this is a subsequent encounter.
• Always sequence this code after any codes for the specific toxic effects or symptoms being treated.
• Do not use for initial acute care; a different 7th character would be appropriate for the initial encounter.
