Toxic effect of contact w oth venom plant, slf-hrm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from a deliberate self-inflicted poisoning due to contact with a venomous plant not otherwise specified. The patient has survived the initial acute toxic event, but is now experiencing residual effects directly attributable to that past exposure.

Apply this code when documenting chronic conditions, permanent disabilities, or ongoing health problems that are a direct result of a previous intentional self-harm incident involving a venomous plant. Examples include persistent dermatitis, neurological damage, or organ dysfunction that developed after the acute phase of the poisoning.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional self-harm by venomous plant contact.
• Do not use for acute poisoning; this code is exclusively for the late effects.
