T46.6X3A
ICD-10-CMPoisoning by antihyperlipidemic and antiarteriosclerotic drugs, assault, initial encounter
This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse effects or toxicity resulting from the intentional administration of antihyperlipidemic or antiarteriosclerotic medications by another person with the intent to harm. These drugs are typically used to lower cholesterol or prevent hardening of the arteries. The "initial encounter" indicates the patient is receiving active treatment for the poisoning.
Use this code when documentation clearly states that a patient's poisoning by lipid-lowering or anti-atherosclerosis drugs was due to an assault. This would include cases where a patient was forcibly given these medications or had them secretly administered with malicious intent. It is appropriate for the first visit related to this specific poisoning event.
