Poisoning by oral contraceptives, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or residual effect stemming from an intentional self-harm event involving oral contraceptives. It indicates that the patient previously ingested oral contraceptives with the intent to harm themselves, and they are now presenting with a condition directly attributable to that past poisoning.

Apply this code when documenting a current health problem that is a direct result of a prior intentional overdose of oral contraceptives. This could include chronic organ damage, persistent metabolic disturbances, or other lasting sequelae identified after the acute poisoning event has resolved. It is used when the patient is no longer in the acute phase of poisoning but is being treated for its lasting impact.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional oral contraceptive poisoning.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; use the appropriate acute poisoning code with the 7th character "A" or "D" for initial or subsequent encounters.
