Poisoning by oth estrogens and progstrn, accidental, subs

This code signifies an accidental overdose or adverse reaction to estrogen or progestogen medications, such as those used in hormone replacement therapy or contraception, during a follow-up visit. The poisoning is unintentional, meaning it was not self-harm or assault.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management or evaluation of symptoms stemming from an accidental poisoning by estrogens or progestogens. This includes follow-up appointments after initial treatment for the overdose, or when monitoring for delayed effects.

• Ensure the encounter is for a subsequent visit, not the initial treatment of the poisoning.
• Verify documentation clearly states the poisoning was accidental and involves an estrogen or progestogen.
• Always code the specific drug responsible if known, using additional codes from T36-T50 as appropriate.
