Poisn by slctv serotonin reuptake inhibtr, undet, sequela

This code indicates a past poisoning event involving selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) where the intent of the poisoning could not be determined. It signifies that the patient is now experiencing a residual condition or complication directly attributable to that previous SSRI poisoning.

Apply this code when documenting a current health problem that is a long-term consequence of an SSRI poisoning, and the original poisoning event's intent (e.g., accidental, intentional self-harm) was never definitively established. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing chronic issues stemming from the undetermined SSRI overdose.

• Always sequence this "S" code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past SSRI poisoning of undetermined intent.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; this code is exclusively for sequelae.
