Poisoning by unsp psychostimulants, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or late effect resulting from an intentional overdose of an unspecified psychostimulant. The original poisoning event was a deliberate act of self-harm, and the patient is now presenting with residual health issues directly attributable to that past event.

Apply this code when documenting conditions or symptoms that are a direct result of a previous intentional self-harm poisoning by an unspecified psychostimulant, and the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved. Examples include chronic cardiac arrhythmias, neurological deficits, or persistent psychiatric symptoms that developed after the initial overdose and are now being treated.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional psychostimulant poisoning.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; this code is exclusively for sequelae.
