Poisn by oth nonsteroid anti-inflam drugs, self-harm, init

This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse effects resulting from the deliberate ingestion of an excessive amount of a non-aspirin NSAID, with the intent to harm themselves. The patient is in the initial phase of receiving care for this poisoning event.

Apply this code when documenting an emergency department visit or initial hospitalization for a patient who intentionally overdosed on an NSAID other than aspirin, such as ibuprofen or naproxen. This code is appropriate for the first encounter where the poisoning is diagnosed and treatment is initiated.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "intentional self-harm" and specifies a non-aspirin NSAID.
• Confirm this is the patient's first time receiving treatment for this specific poisoning episode.
• Always code any associated manifestations of the poisoning (e.g., gastric ulcer, renal failure) in addition to this code.
