Tox eff of corrosv acids & acid-like substnc, slf-hrm, sqla

This code signifies the long-term or residual effects resulting from a patient's intentional self-infliction of injury using corrosive acids or acid-like substances. These sequelae can include chronic pain, scarring, strictures, organ damage, or functional impairments that persist after the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved.

Use this code when documenting conditions that are a direct consequence of a past intentional self-harm event involving corrosive acids, and the acute phase of the poisoning is no longer active. This applies to follow-up visits, rehabilitation, or ongoing management of permanent damage.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., scar, esophageal stricture).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional self-harm by corrosive acids.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute poisoning event; instead, use the acute poisoning code with the appropriate seventh character.
