Poisoning by androgens and anabolic congeners, undet, subs

This diagnosis code indicates a poisoning event caused by androgens or anabolic congeners, where the intent of the poisoning (e.g., accidental, intentional self-harm, assault) cannot be determined. The "subsequent encounter" designation signifies that the patient is receiving follow-up care for the poisoning after the initial treatment. This could include monitoring for long-term effects, managing residual symptoms, or addressing complications.

Use this code for patients presenting for follow-up care of androgen or anabolic congener poisoning when the intent of the exposure is unknown. This applies to situations where the initial acute phase of treatment has passed, and the patient is returning for ongoing management. Examples include follow-up appointments after discharge from an emergency department or inpatient stay, or during a course of outpatient treatment for the effects of the poisoning.

• Ensure the encounter is truly "subsequent" and not the initial treatment for the poisoning.
• Verify that the specific substance involved is an androgen or anabolic congener.
• Confirm that the intent of the poisoning remains undetermined in the medical record.
