Poisoning by methamphetamines intentional self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from a deliberate act of self-poisoning with methamphetamines. It indicates that the acute phase of the poisoning has passed, and the patient is now experiencing residual effects directly attributable to that event. These sequelae can be physical, neurological, or psychological in nature.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition or lasting impairment that is a direct result of a past intentional methamphetamine overdose. This applies to follow-up encounters where the focus is on managing these persistent effects, rather than the acute intoxication itself. Examples include chronic organ damage, persistent neurological deficits, or long-term psychiatric conditions stemming from the self-harm attempt.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic kidney disease, persistent psychosis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional methamphetamine self-harm event.
• Do not use this code for acute methamphetamine intoxication or for adverse effects of therapeutic use.
