Poisn by insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs, slf-hrm, subs

This code signifies a patient's self-inflicted poisoning specifically from insulin or oral medications used to lower blood sugar, during a follow-up visit for the initial event. It indicates a deliberate act of harm using these specific pharmaceutical agents, and the patient is now receiving ongoing care for the consequences.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for patients who intentionally overdosed on insulin or oral hypoglycemic drugs. This includes follow-up appointments for managing complications, monitoring recovery, or addressing ongoing mental health needs related to the self-harm attempt. It is used after the initial acute treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "intentional self-harm" and specifies insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents as the substance.
• This "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter; verify the patient is not in the initial acute treatment phase.
• Always sequence this code after any codes for the specific medical conditions or injuries resulting from the poisoning.
