Poisoning by MAO inhib antidepressants, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from a deliberate overdose of monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) antidepressants. It indicates that the patient intentionally ingested these medications with the intent to harm themselves, and they are now presenting with residual issues directly attributable to that poisoning event. These sequelae can range from neurological damage to organ dysfunction.

Apply this code when documenting conditions that are a direct consequence of a past, intentional self-poisoning with MAOI antidepressants. This would include follow-up visits for chronic kidney disease, persistent neurological deficits, or other lasting health problems that developed after the acute poisoning episode has resolved. Do not use for the initial acute poisoning event itself.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequelae being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past MAOI antidepressant self-poisoning.
• Verify that the poisoning was explicitly documented as intentional self-harm, not accidental or assault.
