Poisoning by oth parasympath and spasmolytics, assault, subs

This code signifies a poisoning event resulting from the intentional administration of anticholinergic or antimuscarinic drugs, or spasmolytics, by another party with harmful intent. The patient is presenting for care related to this poisoning after the initial encounter for the acute effects.

This code is appropriate when documenting follow-up care for a patient who was previously treated for an acute poisoning due to an assault involving anticholinergic or antimuscarinic agents, or spasmolytics. This includes subsequent visits for ongoing management of residual symptoms, complications, or monitoring related to the initial poisoning.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "assault" as the intent and that this is a "subsequent encounter."
• Always code the specific substance if known, using additional codes from categories T36-T50 if applicable.
• Consider external cause codes (e.g., Y07.-) to further describe the circumstances of the assault.
