Toxic effect of venom of centipede/millipede, assault, subs

This code signifies a toxic reaction resulting from a centipede or venomous millipede bite that occurred as an intentional act of harm by another person. The patient is presenting for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the envenomation.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for a patient who sustained a centipede or venomous millipede envenomation due to an assault. This includes follow-up appointments for wound care, monitoring for delayed systemic effects, or management of persistent symptoms.

• Always sequence this code after the primary injury code, if applicable.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the "assault" intent and that this is a "subsequent encounter."
• Do not use for accidental exposures or self-inflicted injuries.
