Toxic effect of contact w venom marine plant, slf-hrm, init

This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse health effects resulting from deliberate exposure to a venomous marine plant. The intent behind the contact was self-harm, indicating a suicidal or self-injurious act. The "A" at the end denotes that this is the initial encounter for this specific injury.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a patient intentionally exposed themselves to a toxic marine plant, such as certain types of algae or seaweed, with the explicit purpose of causing self-injury. This would be used for the initial presentation and treatment of the resulting toxic effects.

• Always verify the intent of self-harm is explicitly documented by the provider.
• Ensure the toxic agent is specifically identified as a venomous marine plant.
• Remember the "A" for initial encounter; subsequent care would use the appropriate subsequent encounter character.
