Poisn by insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs, assault, subs

This code indicates a patient presenting for follow-up care or treatment of adverse effects resulting from insulin or oral hypoglycemic medications administered with malicious intent. The poisoning was not accidental, but rather a deliberate act by another party. The patient is no longer in the initial acute phase of treatment.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for patients who have been victims of insulin or oral hypoglycemic drug poisoning due to an assault. This includes visits for ongoing management of complications, monitoring, or rehabilitation after the initial acute care has been rendered. It is appropriate for situations where the intent of the poisoning was clearly malicious.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis related to the specific adverse effect or complication of the poisoning.
• Ensure documentation clearly supports the "assault" intent and the "subsequent encounter" status.
• Do not use this code for accidental overdose or self-harm; different codes apply for those scenarios.
