Poisoning by oral contraceptives, undetermined, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health problem or complication arising from an oral contraceptive poisoning where the intent (accidental, intentional self-harm, assault) cannot be determined. It indicates that the acute phase of the poisoning has passed, and the patient is now experiencing residual effects.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition or lasting sequela directly attributable to a past oral contraceptive overdose or toxic exposure, and the circumstances surrounding the original poisoning remain unknown. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the initial poisoning event has been resolved.

• Only use this code for the sequelae, not for the initial acute poisoning event.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past oral contraceptive poisoning of undetermined intent.
• Always code any specific sequelae (e.g., liver damage, renal failure) in addition to this code.
