Poisn by selective serotonin reuptake inhibtr, undet, subs

This code signifies a case of poisoning due to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) where the intent of the poisoning (e.g., accidental, intentional self-harm, assault) cannot be determined. It is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for the effects of the initial poisoning event.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is being treated for residual effects or complications stemming from an SSRI overdose or exposure of unknown intent. This includes follow-up appointments for organ damage, neurological sequelae, or ongoing mental health support related to the poisoning.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the poisoning was due to an SSRI and the intent is undetermined.
• This "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter, meaning the patient is receiving routine follow-up care during the healing or recovery phase.
• Always code any associated signs, symptoms, or complications related to the poisoning in addition to this code.
