Toxic effect of ingested berries, self-harm, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care related to a toxic reaction caused by ingesting berries, where the ingestion was a deliberate act of self-harm. The patient is no longer in the acute phase of treatment but is receiving ongoing management for the effects of the poisoning.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for patients who have previously been treated for berry poisoning resulting from an intentional self-harm attempt. This includes visits for monitoring residual effects, managing complications, or addressing psychological aspects related to the self-harm. Do not use for the initial acute treatment.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis related to the specific toxic effect or complication.
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "subsequent encounter" and "intentional self-harm" to justify its use.
• Consider additional codes for any specific symptoms, complications, or mental health diagnoses related to the self-harm attempt.
