Poisoning by oth psychodysleptics, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or residual effect resulting from a deliberate self-poisoning event involving hallucinogenic substances other than cannabis or synthetic cannabinoids. It indicates that the acute phase of the poisoning has passed, but the patient continues to experience health problems directly attributable to the prior intentional overdose.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with sequelae (e.g., persistent neurological deficits, chronic psychiatric conditions, organ damage) that are a direct consequence of a past intentional self-harm attempt using a non-cannabis hallucinogen. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these lasting effects, not for the initial acute poisoning event.

• Always assign an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., specific neurological disorder, mental health condition).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional self-poisoning by a hallucinogen.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; this code is exclusively for residual conditions.
