Poisn by antigonadtr/antiestr/antiandrg, NEC, assault, subs

This code indicates a poisoning event specifically due to medications that interfere with sex hormones, such as antiestrogens or antiandrogens. The poisoning is a result of an assault, meaning it was intentionally inflicted by another person, and this particular encounter is for follow-up care after the initial treatment.

Use this code for a patient presenting for a subsequent visit related to being intentionally poisoned by antigonadotrophins, antiestrogens, or antiandrogens. This applies when the initial acute care for the poisoning has already been rendered, and the patient is receiving ongoing management or follow-up for the effects of the assault.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the poisoning was due to an assault and not accidental or self-harm.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter; for the initial encounter, a different seventh character would be used.
• Always code the specific substance involved if known, using additional codes from Chapter 19 for external causes.
