Poisoning by MAO inhib antidepressants, assault, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care after experiencing poisoning due to monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) antidepressants, where the poisoning was intentionally inflicted by another person. It indicates that the initial acute phase of treatment has passed, and the patient is now receiving ongoing management related to the assaultive poisoning.

Use this code for subsequent encounters such as follow-up appointments, medication adjustments, or ongoing monitoring for a patient who was previously poisoned by MAOI antidepressants as a result of an assault. This applies after the initial emergency treatment and stabilization have occurred.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis for the specific effects of the poisoning.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the poisoning was due to an assault and that this is a subsequent encounter.
• Do not use for initial acute care or for poisoning due to accidental or self-harm intent.
