Poisoning by other hormone antagonists, assault, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from a deliberate act of poisoning by a hormone antagonist, excluding those specifically classified elsewhere. It indicates that the acute phase of the poisoning has passed, and the patient is now experiencing residual effects or sequelae from the assault.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic or residual symptoms directly attributable to a past assault involving a hormone antagonist. This would include follow-up visits for ongoing management of organ damage, endocrine dysfunction, or other lasting health issues caused by the intentional poisoning.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following a code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past assault and identifies the substance as a hormone antagonist.
• Verify that the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved before applying this sequela code.
