Poisoning by other narcotics, assault, subsequent encounter

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care or treatment of complications arising from an intentional overdose or poisoning by a narcotic substance other than heroin, opium, or synthetic narcotics. The poisoning was inflicted by another individual with intent to harm.

Apply this code for subsequent visits related to the management of conditions resulting from an assault involving other narcotics. This includes ongoing treatment for organ damage, neurological sequelae, or psychological trauma after the initial acute phase of poisoning.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the poisoning was an assault and not accidental or self-inflicted.
• Confirm the narcotic involved is not specifically classified as heroin, opium, or a synthetic narcotic.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; use the appropriate initial encounter code for the first presentation.
