Poisoning by oral contraceptives, undetermined, init encntr

This code signifies a case of poisoning due to oral contraceptive use where the intent (accidental, intentional self-harm, assault) cannot be determined by the provider at the time of the initial encounter. The patient is experiencing adverse effects from the substance, but the circumstances surrounding the exposure are unclear.

Apply this code when a patient presents with symptoms of oral contraceptive toxicity, and the medical record does not specify whether the exposure was accidental, intentional, or due to an assault. This is appropriate for the initial visit for treatment of the poisoning.

• Always assign an additional code for the specific adverse effect or symptom experienced by the patient.
• Do not use this code if the intent of the poisoning is clearly documented (e.g., accidental overdose, suicide attempt).
• Ensure the "A" seventh character for "initial encounter" is appropriate for the patient's first presentation for this condition.
