Poisn by slctv serotonin reuptake inhibtr, assault, sequela

This code indicates a long-term health problem or complication resulting from an intentional poisoning by a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) as an act of assault. The patient is experiencing ongoing effects directly attributable to the past SSRI poisoning inflicted by another person.

Apply this code when documenting a chronic condition or residual effect directly caused by a previously sustained SSRI poisoning that was perpetrated as an assault. This would be used in follow-up encounters for conditions like persistent neurological damage, organ dysfunction, or psychiatric sequelae stemming from the assault.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past SSRI poisoning and specifies the assault intent.
• A seventh character of 'S' indicates sequela, meaning the residual effect of a past injury or condition.
