Poisoning by androgens and anabolic congeners, assault, init

This code signifies a case of poisoning resulting from the intentional administration of androgens or anabolic steroids to a patient by another person, with the intent to cause harm. The patient is experiencing the acute effects of this exposure.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial phase of treatment for a patient who has been poisoned by anabolic steroids or androgens due to an assault. This includes emergency department visits, initial hospital admissions, or the first outpatient encounter for this specific event.

• Requires an external cause code (e.g., Y07.-) to fully describe the circumstances of the assault.
• Use a fifth character of 'D' for subsequent encounters and 'S' for sequelae.
• Always sequence this poisoning code before any codes for specific manifestations or complications of the poisoning.
