Advrs effect of slctv seroton/norepineph reup inhibtr, subs

This code signifies an adverse reaction experienced by a patient due to the therapeutic use of a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). It indicates that the patient is receiving active treatment for the adverse effect, or the sequelae of the adverse effect, during the current encounter. This could involve symptoms like nausea, dizziness, insomnia, or other side effects directly attributable to the SNRI medication.

Use this code when a patient presents for follow-up care or ongoing management of an adverse effect caused by an SNRI, after the initial treatment for the adverse effect has been provided. This applies to situations where the patient is still experiencing symptoms or requires further monitoring related to the drug's side effects. It is appropriate when the focus of the encounter is on the continued management of the adverse reaction.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific manifestation(s) of the adverse effect.
• Ensure the documentation clearly states the SNRI as the cause of the adverse effect and that this is a subsequent encounter for its management.
• Do not use this code for poisoning, underdosing, or allergic reactions, which have their own specific codes.
