Slf-hrm by jump or lying in front of moving object, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from an intentional act of self-harm where an individual placed themselves in the path of a moving object, other than a vehicle. These sequelae can include chronic pain, neurological deficits, amputations, or psychological trauma that persist after the initial injury has healed.

Apply this code when documenting conditions that are a direct consequence of a past self-inflicted injury involving jumping or lying in front of a moving object (e.g., train, subway, machinery). This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the primary focus is managing these lasting effects, rather than the acute injury itself.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, fracture nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past self-harm event.
• Do not use for acute injuries; refer to the appropriate acute injury codes for the initial event.
