Poisoning by unsp psychostimulants, undetermined, subs

This code signifies a poisoning event involving an unknown psychostimulant where the intent (accidental, intentional self-harm, assault) cannot be determined. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for the sequelae of this poisoning after the initial acute phase of treatment.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management of complications or effects from a psychostimulant poisoning, and the specific substance or the circumstances surrounding the poisoning remain unclear. This is appropriate for follow-up visits after the initial emergency treatment has concluded.

• Ensure the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter, indicating ongoing care.
• Avoid using this code if the specific psychostimulant or the intent of the poisoning is known; more specific codes exist.
• Always sequence this code after any codes for the specific manifestations or complications of the poisoning.
