Toxic effect of ingested mushrooms, assault, subs encntr

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care or ongoing treatment related to a toxic reaction from consuming mushrooms, where the ingestion was intentionally inflicted by another person. The patient is no longer in the acute phase of the poisoning but is still receiving care for its effects.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for a patient who was poisoned by mushrooms as a result of an assault. This includes visits for monitoring organ function, managing lingering symptoms, or addressing complications arising from the initial toxic exposure after the initial treatment has been rendered.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the mushroom ingestion was an assault and that this is a subsequent encounter.
• Always sequence this code after any codes for specific manifestations or complications of the poisoning.
• Do not use for initial treatment or for accidental or intentional self-harm ingestions.
