Toxic effect of herbicides and fungicides, self-harm, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care related to a previous act of intentional self-harm involving poisoning by herbicides or fungicides. The initial acute phase of the toxic effect has passed, and the patient is now receiving ongoing management for the consequences of the exposure.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for patients who previously attempted suicide or intentionally harmed themselves using herbicides or fungicides. This includes follow-up appointments for organ damage assessment, psychiatric evaluation, or ongoing treatment for residual symptoms after the initial acute intoxication.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "intentional self-harm" and "subsequent encounter."
• Always sequence this code after any codes for specific toxic effects or injuries sustained.
• Do not use for initial acute care or for accidental exposures.
