Tox eff of carb monx fr incmpl combst dmst fuel, asslt, init

This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse health effects due to carbon monoxide poisoning, specifically when the source is from the incomplete burning of household fuels other than utility gas or motor vehicle exhaust. The poisoning is a result of an intentional act of harm by another person.

Apply this code when documenting carbon monoxide toxicity from sources like charcoal grills, wood-burning stoves, or kerosene heaters used indoors, and the patient's medical record clearly indicates the exposure was due to an assault. This code is for the initial phase of treatment for the acute poisoning.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "assault" as the intent of the carbon monoxide exposure.
• Confirm the source of carbon monoxide is from "other domestic fuels" (e.g., charcoal, wood, kerosene) and not utility gas or motor vehicle exhaust.
• This "A" seventh character indicates the patient is receiving active treatment for the poisoning.
