Poisoning by oth hormones and synthetic sub, assault, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse effects from an intentional overdose or misuse of hormones or synthetic hormone-like substances, excluding adrenal cortical steroids, sex hormones, and their synthetic substitutes. The poisoning was inflicted by another person with intent to harm.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who was poisoned by another individual using non-specified hormones or synthetic substitutes. This includes subsequent visits for monitoring, management of lingering symptoms, or ongoing treatment related to the initial assault.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the poisoning was an assault and not accidental or self-inflicted.
• Confirm the encounter is subsequent, indicating ongoing care after the initial treatment for the poisoning.
• Verify the substance involved is categorized as "other hormones and synthetic substitutes" and not a more specific hormone class.
